The Kirker Music Festival in Mallorca
Mallorca, Spain
tbc nights from £tbc per person
On the spectacular and dramatic north coast of Mallorca, far from the mass tourism of the south-east, is the pretty village of Estellencs in the dramatic Tramuntana Mountains. Mallorca has long been associated with Frederic Chopin who stayed on the island with his lover George Sand during the winter of 1838/39. The couple stayed at the Carthusian monastery at Valldemossa, scandalising the locals in this remote rural outpost, although Chopin composed some of his finest music whilst on the island. Pianist Melvyn Tan will play works by Chopin, and we are also joined by the Alkyona Quartet and the classical guitarist Morgan Szymanski, who will give a series of private concerts in the village church.
