The Aylwin String Quartet were invited to take part in the opening  event of the European Week of Astronomy & Space Science which was hosted by University of Hertfordshire from Sun 19th April - Fri 24th April 2009.

Robert Priddey and Alice Williamson wrote and presented a Talk and Recital regarding the historical, mathematical and cultural links between Astronomy and Music. This  slow movement was included because Beethoven was inspired by the stars on a clear night.
