If you like classical music, and specifically Schubert, you might be interested in the following. Lawrence and Rosie Mortimer, who run the Whittington International Chamber Music Festival, have asked me to pass it on.
'This year we have a Schubert Fest with four successive nights of the great Romantic’s most memorable chamber works, performed by nine brilliant international musicians. It runs from May 6-9: the 6th is at Holy Trinity Oswestry (£16), 7th-9th at St John the Baptist, Whittington (£12 a night or £30 for all three).
Anybody aged 8-25 qualifies for free entry at any of the Whittington concerts – please ring 01691 657986 to reserve, as free seats are limited to 50 per night.
Full details can be found on the website, including a lunchtime concert at Whittington on May 9th marking the WW1 Centenary, in conjunction with Oswestry’s Derwen College and London’s Wigmore Hall. It really is a Festival not to be missed! Those who know what to expect from Schubert can be assured of world-class performances; those who have little experience of music of this kind will be bowled over by it and enchanted by our delightfully personable artists.'
