Music in Quiet places concert - Castalian Quartet at Thurlby

A longish drive - about 45 minutes each way, but well worth it for a magical evening.


A  brilliant concert at St Firmin's church, Thurlby, near Bourne. 

The first piece the Castalian Quartet played was Haydn's Quartet in D minor, op.76 no 2, a lively playful and very modern sounding piece.
This was followed by Janacek's Kreutzer Sonata, and Britten's Quartet no 2 in C op.36.

Perfect surroundings, a light airy church, with the evening sunlight streaming through the clerestory windows. 

The organisers provided delicious refreshments in the interval, and there was a lovely atmosphere among the audience. 




It was still light as we left at about 9.30 pm.
