 ICS is the world’s silliest classical sports carnival where violinists
 \, violists\, cellists and string stars battle it out in ridiculous musi
 c-meets-Olympics events… WHILE playing actual pieces!Forget the real O
 lympics\, this is the one you’ll actually want to watch!\n\n\n\nTHE VI
 OLYMPICS is the outrageously funny concert where classical musicians tur
 n into elite athletes… but the only medal they’re chasing is your un
 controllable laughter.\n\n\n\nPicture this: elite string players locked 
 in head-to-head battles while performing beautiful music. They’ll trad
 e phrases of Bach’s Badinerie whilst competing in a round of badminton
  using duct-taped rackets to bows in the Bowedminton event. They’ll pu
 mp iron (well\, bags of increasingly heavy water bottles) on their bow a
 rms during Bolero’s weightlifting round. They’ll hurl bows across th
 e stage in the long range Javiolin (javelin) round\, blow out candles fr
 om ever-increasing distances in the Long-Distance Accuracy event\, and a
 ttempt extreme sight-reading from blurry handwritten scores in the legen
 dary Ironmanuscript 10m dash.\n\n\n\nOther jaw-dropping challenges inclu
 de:High Jump in octavesHop-Skip &amp\; ModulateTrillathelon - progressiv
 ely absurd ornimentation.Wrestling = Rest-ling\, adding more and more re
 sts while keeping the melody recognisable\n\n\n\nThere’s a full Youth 
 Round for the next generation of string stars\, a Mental Decathlon Trivi
 a showdown\, a completely unhelpful “conductor” giving increasingly 
 ridiculous gestures\, and yes\, someone will attempt the Southpaw Challe
 nge playing left-handed.\n\n\n\nIt’s part concert\, part comedy sports
  spectacular\, and 100% guaranteed to have you crying with laughter. Whe
 ther you’re a classical die-hard\, a casual music fan\, or just love w
 atching highly skilled people do ridiculously stupid things with their i
 nstrum\,ents\, The Violympics is the funniest night out you’ll have al
 l year.\n\n\n\nBring your friends. Bring tissues for the giggles. Bring 
 spare bows (you might need them).The Violympics: because classical music
  was always meant to be this much fun.\n\n\n\nTickets are selling faster
  than a bow in a Javiolin throw\, grab yours now.\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibili
