Concert 1

May 17th / Saturday 7.30pm
Music at Leamington Hastings programme

London Concertante

‘...played with silky-toned elegance and regal pacing… there is an extraordinary unanimity in their playing. The London Concertante members, fine chamber musicians that they are, played with an uncanny clarity of texture in which every detail could be heard, and yet all was light and colour… quite exquisite.’
The Strad

London Concertante is one of the finest chamber ensembles in the country,
its players brought together through a shared passion for chamber music. Now in its 17th year it has received an enviable array of critical acclaim and enjoys an ever-growing reputation for exciting and memorable performances. London Concertante has the rare ability to combine in varied instrumental groupings and consistently to maintain its high artistic endeavour.

Under the dynamic leadership of Adam Summerhayes, the ensemble thrives on inspired programming and the loyalty of some of the country’s finest instrumentalists. It tours with the most significant and demanding of chamber music masterpieces, giving around a hundred concerts a year both in the UK and abroad, and will this year also travel and perform from coast to coast in the USA.

‘Quality musicians. Quite excellent…pursuing each new pulse with the unanimity of a shoal of fish. They play with tone as soft as velvet, bow strokes that really sing and a Romanticist’s wide volume range.’
