In times past, before the advent of recorded music, if one wanted to hear a new piece of music, one played transcriptions like these with friends and family. Be immersed in the magic of chamber music by sitting surrounding the players. You can imagine with only 4 players covering orchestral music they each have to play a lot of notes!! This is a concert packed with wonderful melodies so do join us for an evening of gorgeous music.
The General Public are invited to book tickets from 16 February.
The Friends of Beaminster Festival have had an invitation to a Reception and Introduction to the Festival which will preceed this concert. They also have Priority Booking for this concert and the events in the main Festival.
