STOP PRESS

There will be a free pre-concert presentation from 6.30-7.30pm on Thursday 28 October in the auditorium of Square Chapel.

Roger Scaife, teacher of Music at Huddersfield New College and on the Board of the Young Musicians’ Festival, will talk about Kurt Weill’s String Quartet and will introduce a short dance performance by members of Huddersfield New College’s AS Dance Course (1st year) who, with their teacher Rhiannan Dunleavy, have been working with the Colman Quartet in a series of workshops to create a choreographed interpretation of a section of the Weill Quartet.

This new initiative in the education work of the Young Musicians’ Festival seeks to bring young musicians into direct contact with other young people for whom chamber music is a new experience, and we hope that you will join us to see the fruits of this collaboration.
