Hay Music Concerts

 Hay Music put on two lunchtime concerts in St Mary's Church during Hay Festival, which were both sold out.

They're not resting on their laurels, though - on Friday 24th June there will be another concert at St Mary's.  The performers are the Tippett String Quartet, with Emma Abbate on piano.  Tickets cost £15, with under-25s £7.50.

They will be playing two piano quintets, by Robert Schumann and Elgar and the String Quartet No 5 by Michael Tippett.

The Tippett Quartet performs on Radio 3, and tours around the world, and Emma Abbate has also been heard on Radio 3 and at international festivals.

And finally, on Saturday 23rd July, Hay will have the chance to hear Llyr Williams play piano, also at St Mary's - this is a concert which has been postponed at least twice!  Tickets for this concert cost £17.50, or £8.75 for under-25s.

He will be playing Haydn, Schumann, Rachmaninov, Liszt and a piece from Tristan und Isolde by Wagner and Liszt.
