The Dante Summer Festival 9 - 13 July 2013

I have just discovered another special festival in the Tamar Valley and what is worse they have a list of B&Bs in the area and we are not on it, so I thought I would let you know that Callington is just 5 miles away from beautiful Sandhill House B&B, in Gunnislake and that we also have a beautiful self catering Barn conversion in the garden, which is available from Thursday 11 July.

In terms of the outline programme, for this festival of music as you will hopefully see on the link below (it works when I click on it):  

Come to the Tamar Valley for a feast of concerts by the renowned Dante Quartet, celebrating our Dante Summer Festival’s 10th anniversary. We start and finish with two great quintets by Brahms, along with chamber music by Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Debussy, plus open rehearsals, a concert of gypsy jazz, workshops, guided walks, shared meals and children’s events - something to interest and delight everyone.

This really does sound like a wonderful feast of music catering for everyone's taste, and a great opportunity to explore the wonders of The Tamar Valley in between concerts.  Personally, I will be making a really big effort to get to see the gypsy jazz concert - that sounds just so alive!
