Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Andrei Ioniţă

The final event of the Ragged School Museum Festival saw a programme of Brahms and Shostakovich in the wonderful Victorian museum, tucked away at the heart of the East End.

The Second Ragged Music Festival showcases young musicians in Bach and Messiaen in East London.

Andrei Ioniţă proved to be an ideal interpreter of Dvorak's Cello Concerto in a concert that also included a magnificent performance of Martinů's Fourth Symphony.

Hallé guest conductor Cristian Măcelaru provided excellent direction in a selection of classic repertoire.

Most music Festivals only have to deal with demanding divas, mercurial maestros or bad weather. In Istanbul there is a lot more at stake.
