The four brilliant and youthful talents of the internationally renowned Credo Quartet will be giving a premiere tour in Oxford.

Christopher Willis is one of the most famous young British composers, currently making film-music in Hollywood. The title is taken from a well-known 1940s Los Angeles cinema, leading the listener into the adventurous world of Early American Cinematography.
Pavel Karmanov, meanwhile, is the most well-known Russian composer today; he presents a new Christmas composition that is dedicated to the 800th Anniversary of the University of Cambridge.
