The Takacs Quartet performed in Bath Spa on Saturday morning so we arranged to make a day trip out of the opportunity to hear this great Quartet perform Beethoven, Smetana and Mozart quartets. Quite a nice way to spend two hours on a rainy Saturday! We will also be hearing the Takacs perform a slighly different program here in London at Wigmore Hall.

Bath is known for its Georgian architecture and there is plenty of it. But I think we felt that the older, Gothic Bath Abbey was the jewel in this lovely city.

Upon entering this great space we heard live vocal music being performed by a Baroque ensemble rehearsing for a concert in the Abbey later that evening. So we were able to sit and enjoy the music and the space. One of the many unexpected pleasures of travel!
