Wait, what, a FOURTH Takacs Quartet member is being changed? This is worse than the Sugababes fiasco.

The Takács Quartet are featured this week in an article in @spectator. Their concert with us next Friday will be one of their cellist's last with the group: Andras Fejer, a founder member from 1975, retires later this year.
We are delighted to have them perform live for us in Pickering as we launch our 2026 Summer Festival next week.
A very limited number of restricted-view tickets are available for the concert at the @PickeringChurch on Friday 27 March, starting 8pm: check at ryedalefestival.com

'There’s something transcendent about John Wilson. Through film music and musicals, he fostered the trust of a vast audience who now avidly follow him into adventurous repertoire. With his orchestra of all-stars Sinfonia of London he pursues an Olympian level of excellence that results in sell-out concerts and chart-topping albums.'
🏆 Congratulations to John Wilson on winning the Conductor Award at last night's @RoyalPhilSoc Awards.
John brings his orchestra to the @ryedalefestival this summer for the first concert in a special three-year Festival residency.
Be there to see John conduct a programme of brilliant British music at @yorkbarbican on Sunday 12 July: ryedalefestival.com/events/john-wi…
