Leamington Music Festival Weekend 2018 1of 4
Today's Lunchtime Concert comes from the Leamington Music Festival. Chamber music by Suk, Martinu and Smetana from the Prazak String Quartet, Ensemble 360 and Guarneri Piano Trio.
The 2018 Leamington Music Festival Weekend marks the centenary of the founding of Czechoslovakia which happened two weeks before the Armistice of 11 November.
