On the Road! – June 2025
Summer’s warming up, and so is our concert calendar! If you’re a fan of intimate, expressive chamber music, June is a perfect time to catch us live. From charming market towns to major concert halls – we’re performing a great range of repertoire across England.
Here’s a look at where we’re headed:
⸻
Kicking Things Off in the Yorkshire Dales
June 3 – Swaledale Festival, Richmond
The month starts with a scenic stop at the Swaledale Festival in North Yorkshire, where we’ll be performing Ravel, Schubert, and Caroline Shaw’s Entr’acte. If you’ve never heard Shaw’s work live, it’s a total treat—contemporary and mesmerizing.
⸻
A Weekend by the Sea
June 9–11 – Kirker Music Festival, Eastbourne
Next we head south to Eastbourne’s elegant Grand Hotel for a few days of music by Haydn, Beethoven, Dvořák, and others. Think sea breezes and string quartets—hard to beat!
⸻
Sunday Morning Music in London
June 15 – Wigmore Hall, London
Back in the capital, catch us mid-month for a Sunday morning concert at Wigmore Hall. On the menu: Schubert’s youthful E-flat quartet and Dvořák’s much-loved “American” quartet. It’s the kind of programme that will hopefully leave you floating out into the day!
⸻
Summer Sounds in the Wye Valley
June 22 – Ross-on-Wye
Later in the month, we are in Ross-on-Wye at the lovely St Mary’s Parish Church. This concert includes music by Hubert Parry—fitting, since our festival just down the road, is in Parry’s home village and church in Highnam.
⸻
A Big Finish at Aldeburgh!
June 25 – Aldeburgh Festival, Snape Maltings
To close out the month, we land at the iconic Aldeburgh Festival. The programme features Beethoven’s stormy ‘Serioso’, Shostakovich’s intense 12th quartet, and a brand new work by composer Daniel Kidane. There’s even a pre-concert talk if you like to dig into the music beforehand.
