2010 draws to a close…
Date of Story 29 November, Monday, 2010
2010 draws to a close… It has been a wonderfully hectic year, filled with exciting concerts and recordings. 2011 will be our last year on the BBC NGA scheme, which has proven a wonderful opportunity to meet and work with some tremendous artists, and to be heard on the radio of course! Our website is due to be redesigned, and we will release two new CDs; a Wigmore Live disc with our recent Wigmore concert, and another one with Mendelssohn quartets. We will also return to the recording studio during next year. But the most exciting upcoming event will be the launch of our new, still secret project that will extend for a number of years, featuring its own website… Please stand by for further details!
