The 2025/26 Winter Season from Leamington Music opens on Friday 26 September and comprises some 14 concerts throughout the Autumn and Spring.

This Season, the series of String Quartet concerts moves to Holy Trinity Church in Leamington while the Royal Pump Rooms undergoes extensive repairs to the roof, and the series truly recovers its international nature with the Royal Quartet coming from Poland, the Henschel Quartet from Germany, the Dudok  Quartet from the Netherlands with their compatriot, cellist Pieter Wispelwey, as well as the British Marmen and Gildas Quartets. Composers featured in the series include Haydn, Bartók, Debussy, Jessie Montgomery, Alwyn, Beethoven, Mozart, Grażyna Bacewicz, Brahms, Freda Swain, Mendelssohn, Dowland, and Schubert.

The mainly Early Music concerts in St Mary’s Church, Warwick bring old friends before Christmas – Stile Antico, The York Waits, and Joglaresa - and new friends - Apollo’s Cabinet and The Choir of Royal Holloway – in the Spring. Following their successful introduction last year, the free pre-concerts talks before each concert in St Mary’s will feature once again where the audience invites you to take a closer look ‘Behind the Music’.

There are two concerts in the Unitarian Chapel in Warwick this year. There is new instrument in the series in the form of a square piano made by Broadwood in our Jane Austen-inspired concert given by soprano Penelope Appleyard with Jonathan Delbridge on the piano (which is the kind of instrument the author herself would have played), and we welcome back The Mellstock Band after much too long an absence from our venues.

Sunday 8 March sees the now-traditional Double Concert Day from Ensemble 360 in Leamington’s Royal Spa Centre with a new Family Concert - The Storm Whale - in the morning and some intriguing chamber works performed by Ensemble 360 in the afternoon.

With music from across the centuries - composed during the Renaissance and right up to the present day - there is something for all in this exciting new series from Leamington Music.
