St Barnabas Schubert Festival 2013
This major weekend festival devoted to Schubert comprised about 12 hours of his most famous music, including many chamber music masterpieces (the Octet, both the 'Trout' and the String Quintets, the 'Death and the the Maiden' string quartet, and both piano trios etc) as well as favourite duets, lieder and solo piano music. Each work was played by a different ensemble or musician, and we hd a distinguished team of about 55 musicians participating in the festival. There were 5 long concerts, with 3 evening sessions from 7 to 10 pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and 2 afternoon sessions on Saturday and Sunday from 2 pm to 6 pm.
