Wihan Quartet May 2020 Newsletter with a very special quarantine performance and live stream by Leos and Michal Thursday evening

Dear Wihan Friends
We hope that you are staying well and healthy during these challenging times.

During the long lock-down period in the Czech Republic the Wihan Quartet were missing rehearsing and performing together, but fortunately they found a way to keep in contact and we hope you enjoy the very special quarantine edition of Mendelssohn's Octet.....

The Czech Republic is now starting to come out of lock-down and Leos (1st violin) and Michal (cello) will be performing Martinu's Duo for Violin and Cello tomorrow evening as part of a series of live streamed concerts organised by the Bohuslav Martinů Foundation to support Médecins Sans Frontières. Further details below.

The Bohuslav Martinů Foundation are broadcasting online a series of chamber concerts from its headquarters in Prague.
