Friends of the Whitworth present a series of free Sunday Concerts that are open to all. At 3pm on selected Sunday afternoons, students from the Royal Northern College of Music perform in our South Gallery, overlooking Whitworth Park. Past concerts have included classical flamenco guitar to contemporary flute. There really is something for all tastes and ages. Each concert will last around 45 minutes, and you can feel free to drop in and out.
The concerts are arranged entirely by Friends of the Whitworth.
All concerts start at 3pm. Free, no need to book.

Freeman String Quartet - String Quartet No 19 in C Major, K 465 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, nicknamed "Dissonance" because of its unusual slow introduction, is perhaps the most famous of his quartets. It is the last in the six quartets composed between 1782 and 1785 that he dedicated to Joseph Haydn.
