Saffron Chamber Music Day
Welcome to our town-wide celebration of chamber music - a conversation between friends, a partnership of equals, music to participate in, to eavesdrop on - music for pleasure. The day celebrates chamber music; music made by a small group of musicians and the special bond they create with each other and with audiences, as a community of musicians come together to share the joys of music up close. Whether it's Beethoven or Bridgerton, music for the concert hall, soundtrack, salon or tango club, there's a world of music to be enjoyed at close quarters from mid-morning until after dark.
Open Chamber Music Sessions at Saffron Hall and Audley End House, all day

Brodsky Quartet at Saffron Hall, 4pm
If you are new to chamber music and curios about the famous Saffron Hall acoustic, or you have heard the renowned Brodsky Quartet many times before, join this musical journey from Schubert's restless energy to Beethoven's beautifully compressed profound final quartet. The Brodsky's are joined by the Florens Quartet to play music for Octet.
London Tango Quintet at the Saffron Walden Town Hall, 8pm
A heady mix of sultry melodies and electrifying rhythms, this is an evening in the company of the legendary tango king Astor Piazzolla and his contemporaries. The style and sound of Buenos Aires café culture is conveyed with fire and panache, presented in a relaxed cabaret-style setting creating the perfect ambience.
