Friends of Cwmdu Music-soon, our Fibonacci Quartet concert

We’re looking forward to our concert next Friday 8th May, 7:30 pm (doors open 7:00pm) with Fibonacci Quartet. Tickets available online and at the door. (Adults £15, concessions pay £1 deposit online-refunded at door.) Interval refreshments, (outside, weather permitting)!

Kryštof Kohout - Violin, Luna de Mol - Violin, Findlay Spence - Cello, Elliot Kempton - Viola will perform works by Joseph Haydn, Leoš Janáček and Robert Schumann.

You may be aware that there are announced roadworks in the centre of Crickhowell for several days, including on the day of the concert. This affects those travelling through the town centre on the A40. The best advice we can give (the official notifications are ambiguous), is when arriving from Abergavenny to pass through Crickhowell before 7pm-there will be traffic lights in operation. On return, travel back towards Abergavenny via Tretower and Llangynidr.

Should there be any updates we’ll amend the Fibonacci concert posts thread on the website (which currently includes this info, plus an approximate map of the affected area).
