Thursday 4th December 7.30pm (refreshments) for 8pm (music)

Jack McNeill (clarinet) and friends will return to Rookhow for a Winter concert.  This performance sees some of Cumbria's finest chamber musicians come together to start a new tradition - a musical almanac. You can expect to hear beautiful miniatures, specially commissioned works from leading composers, reworkings by the ensemble of traditional folk music and familiar classics - all with a particular focus on the time of year.
