Hay Music has celebrated its tenth anniversary, at their annual Friends and Patrons party at the beginning of September. There was cake!
Over the lockdowns, they kept going with online events, and more recently have been getting back to live performances, notably with their mini-festival in August.
There are difficulties, though, since they are having to limit the number of tickets available for performances so there can be adequate social distancing, which means they can't get as much revenue as they used to do - and they would like everyone who wants to support them to turn up for the concerts.
The next concert is by the Ligeti String Quartet, on Friday November 12th, from 7pm to 9pm at St. Mary's Church.
They've been to Hay before, in 2016, when they packed out the upstairs room at Booth's Bookshop. This time, they're demonstrating how music from folk traditions have influenced the string quartet repertoire from Beethoven to the present day, finishing with Bartok's 5th string quartet, which includes the melodies of Hungarian folk music. Tickets are £15, or £7.50 for students.
