2020 Auckland String Quartet Summer School Concerts

Dear music aficionados,
In early January each year Brecon Carter organises a wonderful week-long string quartet school and, associated with it, are three public concerts given by professional musicians. These are always excellent concerts at a time of year when there are few other live classical music concerts available.

Here are the programmes for this coming January. They are all held in the Hall, St. Cuthbert's College, 122 Market Road, Epsom (parking through the Wapiti Avenue entrance).
