Thank you to everyone who made the Retreat’s 1st year such a great success. The public saw 2 wonderful concerts but that represented just a fraction of the amazing music making and learning that went on behind closed doors all week. We were inspired and delighted.

MOZART Piano Quartet in Gm, K478 – with Amarins Wierdsma, Krzysztof Chorzelski, Simon Thompson & Fiachra Garvey
