Beethoven's Septet was his most popular work in his lifetime but you rarely get to hear it live - until now! It will be the crowning glory of our season-closing concert when London-based ensemble Chamber Music Box comes to Cairns Church. That's on Friday 25 April at 8pm (note the later time - our AGM is at 6.45). It's glorious, life-enhancing music and this brilliant group will also be playing pieces by Richard Strauss, Nielsen and Errollyn Wallen. Don't miss it!

Tickets only £15 from our website (www.milngaviemusic.org), in person from the Honeybee Bakery in Station Road and at the venue on the night.

What an amazing concert last night from the Quatuor Agate ( )! Some 220 people enjoyed their superb music-making at Cairns Church and we very much hope to welcome the quartet back to Milngavie before too long. The first French string quartet to play for us at Milngavie Music Club was the famous Calvet Quartet way back in the 1940s and we can only say that the Agates are worthy successors!

Happy New Year from us all at Milngavie Music Club! We're looking forward to continuing our International Concert Series on Friday 31 January with one of Scotland's most highly talented young ensembles, the Lark Piano Trio.

Bleak mid-winter is just when you need the warm, passionate intensity of this Russian romantic masterpiece, so come and join us at Cairns Church at 7.30 on the 31st!
