The International Quartets competition was won by Inveraray & District in front of a packed out audience in the Strathclyde Suite of the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. The popularity of this concert is indicative of the whole festival, with most of the venues, concerts, recitals and workshops very, very busy — such as the James Duncan Mackenzie recital yesterday.
