FRIDAY 29 MAY 2026     LEONKORO STRING QUARTET

 This quartet is already one of the finest:  perfectly unanimous, colourful and original..”   Alfred Brendel

 

Founded in 2019 in Berlin, the Leonkoro Quartet has garnered widespread praise and numerous accolades including First Prize in the 2022 Wigmore Hall International String Quartet competition.  It is rapidly becoming one of the most exciting ensembles on the international scene, with a reputation for technical excellence and thoughtful, impassioned performances.

Henriëtte Bosmans:  String Quartet (1927)

Mendelssohn:  Quartet no. 2 in A minor, Op. 13

Schubert:  Quartet No. 14 in D minor, D 810

(‘Death and the Maiden’)

 

FRIDAY 19 JUNE       RYAN WANG  (SOLO PIANO)

His interpretation of Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2:  “absolutely cursive, producing drawings where the pencil never leaves the page.”     The Times 

Canadian pianist Ryan Wang captivated audiences worldwide when he won the 2024 BBC Young Musician competition. His success in the competition at the age of 17 followed an already long list of international prizes and accolades;  he had already made history that year as the youngest-ever recipient of the prestigious Prix Cortot award.  He has appeared in recital and with orchestra across Europe and Asia.

Schubert:  Four Impromptus, D. 899, Op. 90

Chopin:  Five Preludes (nos. 19 - 24), Op. 28

Mussorgsky:  Pictures at an Exhibition

 

FRIDAY 17 JULY     LA SERENISSIMA  (BAROQUE ENSEMBLE) 

 An “…all-too-rare ability to make one’s pulse race afresh with every new project.”   Gramophone Magazine

We are delighted that La Serenissima will return to Naunton for another evening of baroque brilliance.  The ensemble is the UK’s leading voice in Italian Baroque, with every note brought to life from original manuscripts. Founded in 1994 by violinist Adrian Chandler, the group has racked up Gramophone Awards, chart-topping albums and millions of streams. La Serenissima’s recordings are regulars on BBC Radio 3, Classic FM and beyond.

The programme will include works for three violins, cello and harpsichord by Blow, Vivaldi, Telemann, Leclair,

Fux and Purcell.

 

FRIDAY 25 SEPTEMBER       I FAGIOLINI  (CHORAL ENSEMBLE)

  

 

“This is serious musicianship that never takes itself too seriously - the Holy Grail of concert-going.”     The Spectator

In 1986 a student vocal group gave its first concert with an eclectic a cappella mix of Monteverdi, Grieg and the Fairy Liquid jingle.  40 years on, Monteverdi has remained a constant and Robert Hollingworth and I Fagiolini have gone on to rethink exactly what a vocal group does…..

A 40th Anniversary programme featuring works by Victoria, Wilbye, Weelkes, Senfl, Vecchi, Monteverdi,

Howells, Skempton, Williams, Marsh, Lesur and Ferré


Hope you will join us for more memorable music-making!
