Delve into the soundworld of all things bowed, plucked and strummed in the HÂþ»­â€™s new festival showcasing the HÂþ»­ Strings Faculty.

Enjoy chamber and solo performances, engaging talks and masterclasses, plus opportunities for young double bassists to take part in workshops led by HÂþ»­ professors and students. A stellar lineup includes the LGT Young Soloists – hailed by The Strad as ‘a very high-class youth string orchestra’ – young musicians from the Stauffer Academy in Italy, and the Eclectic Guitar Orchestra with Milton Mermikides.
