The wonderful Nash Ensemble, favourite Festival artists, return with an outstanding programme which pairs two well-loved 19th century quartets with MacMillan's dramatic, single-movement Horn Quintet and Maxwell Davies' musical sketch, for solo horn, of the majestic flight of a great sea-bird.

‘… a fine reading [of the Mendelssohn quartet] that was bristling and passionate, lyrical and graceful. There was a lot of smiling on stage and the Nash's enthusiasm was contagious.' New York Times
