About this event
The Enescu Competition opens its cello preliminaries to anyone who walks in. Over six days you can hear the world's best young cellists play full programmes in a proper concert hall, hours at a time, for nothing. Drop in for an afternoon rather than the whole day, and you get world-class chamber playing without a ticket queue.
