THE soothing sounds of Beethoven, Schubert and Janá?ek will be among the highlights of Askham Hall’s 2018 Classical Music Festival Weekend.

Askham Church, near Penrith, hosts three special concerts featuring Israeli pianist Noam Greenberg between Friday and Sunday, February 23-25. Noam - who studied with one of the most influential piano teachers of the late 20th Century, the late Mario Curcio - will play alongside Swiss composer and violinist Helena Winkleman and acclaimed UK cellist Adrian Brendel in a rich programme of chamber music.

The ticketed trio of concerts offer additional options to dine at Askham Hall with menus specially prepared by head chef Richard Swale using produce straight off the Lowther Estate. Advanced booking is required. Contact Askham Hall on 01931-712350 or email enquiries@askhamhall.co.uk.
