change to quartet lineups

just been informed that the Badke Quartet have appointed Jon Thorne as their new violist, replacing Eniko Magyar. Jon, who was in the Bronte Quartet for six years, is a wonderfully strong addition to this quartet, and I can't wait to hear this new lineup perform in Lichfield.

Speaking of lineup changes, the Australian String Quartet will be performing with guest violist Jurg Dähler from Switzerland, replacing Sally Boud who will be on maternity leave when their July concerts in the UK come around.

Doesn't the designer/s responsible for the excellent programme cover image (and festival graphics) deserve a mention / name check on your web site anywhere?

hi simon. thanks for posting that you think our cover is excellent. We can't agree more.
I mentioned the cover on this blog in March ("thongs or flipflops") but you are absolutely right that no mention is made on our website. Thanks for drawing that oversight to our attention and we'll sort it out.
So you know, our designer is Mike Lloyd at Yellow (www.yellow-design.co.uk) and we've been working with him since September 2005.
