This celebratory festival opens with a joyful but dramatic work from Composer-in-Residence Huw Watkins; what a privilege to have the composer at the keyboard as well.

Schubert’s Quartet in A minor is a work to be treasured. Schubert’s mastery of melody is at its best right from the opening phrase.
