The festival will also feature a diverse mix of music across three centuries, performed at the Walwyn Arms pub on Saturday, May 10, at 9.30pm.

Festival-goers can also enjoy Beethoven’s Sextet for Winds and César Franck’s Piano Quintet on Monday, May 12, marking the culmination of the masterclass programme.
