Music - 4.30pm - Aisha Orazbayeva: Bach and Berio £5
Young Kazakh violinist, Aisha Orazbayeva brings her trademark dynamic style to the music of two of the world’s greatest authors of solo music for violin: JS Bach, and Luciano Berio. The old German needs no introduction; the Italian modernist Berio however is still a bit of a discovery: meditations on the violin’s sound world that unfold a subtle drama well worth getting into.

Theatre - 6.30pm - Jubilate by Ros Adler £8
Rosalind Adler creates five unique characters in this black comedy about the pleasures of controlling other people. Adler’s creation, Anna, enmeshes herself in the lives of the needy women of her husband’s parish, with terrible and unexpected consequences. “This is marvellous, a real miniature drama crackling with comedy both dark and light…” Libby Purves
