Arcadia returns!
At last! - and after a year’s absence, our much-loved festival makes a return with some great live music.
Two chances to hear four musicians of huge experience guide you through one of the great journeys in all music – Beethoven’s staggering and ultimately transformative conversation with fate and misfortune, in his three massive string quartets op 59.
And a concert devoted entirely to enchanting music for flute and violin from Bach’s friend and most brilliant contemporary Georg Philip Telemann.
