The first in a series of four concerts from Belfast Music Society's 89th International Festival of Chamber Music. Radio 3 New Generation Artists, the Finnish Meta4 String Quartet, perform a programme of folk-inspired music by Bartok and Sibelius in the enchanting setting of Queen's University's Great Hall, with its intimate atmosphere and magnificent architecture.

Initially a branch of the British Music Society, from 1921 to 1983 the society continued to organise concerts, bringing some of the most eminent musicians in Europe to entertain Belfast audiences. The name changed to Belfast Music Society in 1983 and since then it has continued to deliver quality performances. Its programme of concerts has been one of the mainstays of Belfast's musical and cultural life, providing access to an extensive repertoire of quality chamber music.
