To end the week on 9 September, Carducci String Quartet will be joined by Craig Ogden to perform at Concerts at Cratfield's 31st season. 

Reginald Mobley and the Monteverdi Choir under Sir John Elliot Gardiner have received wonderful reviews for their recent performance at the Berlioz Festival last week. The performance, which took place in the stunning Saint-Antoine-l’Abbaye in the La Côte-Saint-André, praised the ensemble, in particular Mobley's "purity of timbre" and "homogeny of tone which sounds natural in any register" and that the singer "captivates the listener." 

A wonderful performance, which concludes a busy summer for Mobley touring with the MCO. He now embarks on a concert with the prestigious Internationale Bach Akademie in Stuttgart on 9 September.
