This year’s January Chamber Music weekend – Sat 21 & 22 January – looks exceptional with Michael Collins & his distinguished friends hosting a feast of music including rare performances in Norwich of Beethoven’s Septet (one of his most popular works in his lifetime) and Schubert’s magical Octet . Michael Collins has assembled a first class team including Alexander Sitkovetsky, Thomas Carroll, Philip Dukes & Richard Watkins – so expect great performances!
