More Festival

This afternoon, I met P and B at the Zinc House in Carlton, owned by Morrie and Anna Schwartz. It was a chance to see the house with an introduction by John Denton (of DCM Architects) and to hear performances from the London Haydn Quartet. But not before snacking on lovely nibbles and sipping Pommery champagne.

The house is very modern in style and full of art works (AS runs a couple of galleries) but I couldn't imagine living in it.

An audience of 60 or so sat to listen to the LHQ play two of Haydn's string quartets - these were very ably introduced by the violist. The group plays on original instruments and the performances were very good.

Then, after a quick dash home to pick up a bottle of wine and pick some flowers (Ophelia has just bloomed for the first time this season) I headed off to P&B's and the three of us went to Noel's for dinner and talk.
