A line up of internationally-renowned musicians are set for L'Derry this week as the Walled City Music Festival gets underway.
Running from Thursday 05 through the weekend, the legendary Bang on a Can All Stars from New York will join leading American pianist Awadagin Pratt and international chamber ensemble Trio Festivale at the series of events in the Millennium Forum.
Saturday will see the Benyounes String Quartet join local cellist Kim Vaughan to perform an all-American themed lunchtime recital with Erich Korngold's lush String Quartet No. 3 and Antonín Dvorak's popular 'American' Quartet, Op. 96, in the Great Hall at Ulster University Magee.
Also in the Great Hall, the young talent of the Northern Ireland Opera Studio will present a lunchtime programme of operatic favourites and rare musical gems from the last two centuries on Sunday. These will include works by Gioachino Rossini, Victor Herbert and Cole Porter, amongst others.

We have a real variety of music spanning the centuries, from celebrating the 250th anniversary of Beethoven to music composed for this very festival, performed by rising stars and legendary musicians. A feast of classical and contemporary music awaits!"
