of music, including a symphonies, concertos, chamber music and piano sonatas, with
illustrations on excellent hi-fi equipment as well as a live concert.

The event will end with afternoon tea on Sunday, but for those wishing to depart on Monday,
it will be possible to stay for an extra night at a special rate.
