The Hampstead Arts Festival is an annual autumnal event, which enriches Hampstead’s cultural life and benefits the local community through the performance, enjoyment and appreciation of the arts, promoting established and emerging young talent. The Festival this year runs from September to December 2013 with a total of 9 concerts.

Last night saw the official launch of the 2013 Hampstead Arts Festival, with violinist Thomas Gould performing a recital accompanied by Ivana Gavric with the great revealing of this year’s programme. 2013 sees Tai Murray (Violinist) performing Bach Sonatas and Partitas, Brodsky Quartet performing the unique Zemlinsky quartets, as well as performances by Sophie Bevan, North York Moors Festival Musicians and Gwilym Simcock. It was a lovely evening with canopés being served and presented by Villa Bianca and fine wine by Jeroboams
