Competing quartets may have noticed that on the Festival website Schedule there are 2 Session times. However, in the Order of Appearance there are 4 Session times.

Some of you may be confused about this. The explanation is that the Quartet Contest Semi-Final is a ticketed event with tickets sold for 2 separate sessions.

Best advice if you’re in a competing quartet is to avoid trying to remember what session you’re in and just note the actual time you need to show up as detailed in the Order of Appearance schedule.
