Liang Yi Museum is delighted to host a groundbreaking week-long musical and crafts exhibition in collaboration with London-based violin dealers J&A Beare Ltd. and Premiere Performances.​ From 19th to 25th January 2025, a selection of violins by Antonio Stradivari as well as other rare 18th-century string instruments from J&A Beare's collection will be on display. The exhibition also features 12 large prints of rare Stradivari violins, highlighting the details of their varnish.

​

The exhibition includes an outreach programme, with presentations and workshops for both adults and students throughout the week. Highlights include a musical comparison of instruments by different makers, both old and contemporary, with Robert Brewer Young, Head of Scientific Research and Conservation at J&A Beare.

 

A musical salon on Saturday 25th January - featuring international soloists using a violin that Robert will have made and finished on-site during his week at Liang Yi Museum - caps off this exhibition. In keeping with the interactive ethos of the Museum, visitors will be encouraged to handle the wood, as it is transformed from its raw state into a playable concert instrument.
