Change of venue
This event will now be held in the Holywell Music Room.
​
In traditional SmorgasChord style, we end our festival with a soirée, simply overflowing with music. In this event, we are thrilled to be able to display eight paintings by the exceptional artist Eva Frankfurther, a Jewish emigré who arrived in Britain in 1939. She lived her life mostly in Whitechapel, where she painted many of the newly arrived immigrants in her community. ​
​
We've chosen music that will complement these paintings, creating a playful dialogue between music and art.
​
This year our soirée is in three parts, and we will enjoy a short break with refreshments between each part. This evening will be a relaxed and laid-back event - feel free to arrive whenever you like!
