Many thanks to all who attended the sell out Isla Quartet concert last night

It was a real treat to witness such an exciting, energetic and emotive performance. The conversations at the drinks reception afterwards were inspiring, especially for the very young members of our audience who I saw sitting memorised throughout the Webern at the beginning of their programme
