Mendelssohn on Mull

Mendelssohn on Mull
8 - 12 September 2024

We are delighted that, at very short notice, the Maxwell Quartet will be our Artistic Directors this year. The Maxwell Quartet's excellence in the classical repertoire, combined with their unique responses to traditional Scottish music, will make this a very special Mendelssohn on Mull. They will be joined by eight young artists and together they will give eight concerts, in Tobermory, Salen, Dervaig, and Bunessan, and on Iona.

It is with great regret that the Doric Quartet is unable to take part in Mendelssohn on Mull 2024 due to unforeseen personal circumstances. We send them our best wishes.
