Autumn 2024 Afternoon Student Concerts

KING’S HALL PLATFORM FOR YOUNG MUSICIANS

Ilkley Concert Club was proud to showcase students from the RNCM by presenting our fourth series of autumn afternoon recitals.

Yet another wonderful series of recitals from potential up and coming stars of the future.  As in previous years these young musicians were delighted to play before audiences of over 100.  We certainly hope that at least one of these performers can emulate the Treske String Quartet who, having played for us during our 2022 Afternoon Concert series, returned to the King’s Hall in December 2024 as one of this seasons evening recitals.
