Music at Walshaw presents a weekend of classical concerts at Walshaw Lodge coming up on the 26th and 27th June 2010. This year, we are having two events, both featuring Moshe Friedman (cello) and Margaret Bruce (piano). Moshe and Margaret are two of the most popular performers that we have had in previous years and this year’s event is sure to be just as successful.

The artists have compiled a demanding programme of work including pieces by Beethoven, Brahms, Debussy, Liszt, Chopin, Tučapský and Martinu. This year the great modern composers, Antonín Tučapský, will be joining us in person and his work will be celebrated as part of the programme.

The concerts are being held at the time of the Hebden Bridge Arts Festival so there are plenty of other great cultural events happening in and around Hebden Bridge at the same time. In the past these concerts were officially part of the festival but this year they may be considered part of the ‘fringe’. Tickets for each event are £15.

Saturday 26th June at 3.oo pm  & Sunday 27th June at 11.00 am

We have this morning added a new photo gallery on the gallery page of the site with images from the amazing few weeks of snow that we have had. There are more photos coming soon but already we hope you can get an idea of the magnificence of the beautiful white blanket that has enveloped this beautiful part of West Yorkshire.

Hardcastle Crags has been closed to the public completely – at least the car parks have been. The lodge has been inaccessible except by 4 wheel drive jeeps. Guests have had to leave their cars at the bottom of the hill and to be ferried up to Walshaw by Land Rover.In short, Walshaw has been a hard place to get in and out of but once you are here – what a place to be!
