Fiona Talkington brings you an afternoon of exclusive music-making including chamber music from Edward Elgar live from Wigmore Hall and Walton’s Concerto for Viola and Orchestra performed by Mathis Rochat and the Â鶹Éç National Orchestra of Wales as part of a week which looks at works for viola and orchestra.

Â鶹Éç New Generation Artist the Kleio Quartet, winner of the 2023 Carl Nielsen International Chamber Music Competition, continues to cement its place among the best of today’s young ensembles.
