I have found The Hampstead Collective to be a an amazing eye opener. Don’t let the fact that it is not a well known orchestra or ensemble put you off.

I went to a performance of Shostakovich’s eighth string quartet at Hampstead Parish Church and it literally had me at the edge of my seat. It was such an intense and incisive performance which to my mind would rival the well known chamber ensembles.

So if you want a well earned break from your homework and studies you could not go wrong giving this a try one day. It should definitely inspire you and get you in form to study hard.
