Family Events

Carducci String Quartet

The Festival traditionally holds a Family Concert which is fun, interactive and very musical!  In 2010 we are delighted that the Carducci String Quartet will be presenting this event. The Carducci Quartet is not only one of the UK's most distinguished string quartets but has an excellent reputation for their family concerts. They have performed in two Lunchtime Concerts recently to standing ovations.

11.30 am Sunday 19th September in the Art Gallery at New Walk Museum
