How to escape a grey January in London...

City of London Sinfonia is delighted to be returning to the Cartagena International Music Festival on 6th - 13th January 2011. The Cartagena International Music Festival is the only chamber music festival in Latin America that combines an event of high quality with a major social project. Recognized international musicians, convened by the Artistic Director Charles Wadsworth and Associate Artistic Director Stephen Prutsman participate in more than 20 concerts that take place in beautiful venues of Cartagena walled city. But also, nearly 3000 children belonging to social projects in the city have seen how their dreams come true throughout the Cartagena Festival; and over 300 young music students have been directly benefited with master-classes with the best musicians in the world.

This January, as well as performing concerts CLS musicians will participate in master-classes and workshops with local youngsters, many of whom do not have access to orchestral instruments or music.

The CLS blog will be updated daily by our team out in Colombia so keep your eyes peeled for that in early 2011!
