On Thursday 28 July at 5.30pm the Festival hosts An Evening
with Marcel Proust, paying tribute to the great writer in the

centenary year of his death. The evening opens with an
entertaining round-table discussion exploring the elegant salon
culture and Parisian high society of the Belle Epoque, with
contributions from Peter Dayan, Professor of Word and Music
Studies at the University of Edinburgh, and Professor Frances

Fowle, Senior Curator at National Galleries of Scotland. (Free to
28 July evening concert ticket holders). For the following concert
at 7.30pm, Pavel has designed a fascinating and compelling
framework in which to present Schubert’s ‘monumental but

elusive’ Piano Sonata in D, alongside music by some of Proust’s
favourite composers; Hahn, Schubert, Fauré and Franck. Tickets
£25 (conc. £15).

On Friday 29 July at 7.30pm, Paxton audiences will welcome the
young members of the Echéa Quartet and hear their fresh

Haydn and Beethoven. Former recipients of the Royal

Philharmonic Society’s Albert and Eugenie Frost Prize, the
Quartet recently won the string ensemble prize in the Royal
Overseas League competition. Tickets £23 (conc. £14).
