The 2026/27 Winter Season from Leamington Music opens on Thursday 17 September and comprises some 22 concerts throughout the Autumn and Spring.

2026 marks 20 years of Leamington Music, who will be pushing the musical boat out in celebration. There will be an extra Festival Weekend in September which is a 'Focus on Poland', featuring Polish and British-Polish artists and offering some exciting discoveries including the world première of a brand new commission for Leamington Music. 

The season opens with a concert from the Coull Quartet in Leamington’s All Saints’ Church on Thursday 17 September to help raise money for an incredibly important cause - to provide a life-saving ambulance to be sent to the front lines of the battlefields in Ukraine.

This Season, the series of String Quartet concerts remains in the wonderful acoustic of Holy Trinity Church in Leamington, and the series continues its strong international nature with the Oslo-based Opus13, the Martinů Quartet from Prague, and the Van Kuijk Quartet from Paris, along with the British Maxwell Quartet and Bridge Quartet. Composers featured in the series include Beethoven, Thomas Adès, Brahms, Ravel, Martinů, Smetana, Haydn, Prokofiev, Eleanor Alberga, Mozart, Henriëtte Bosmans, Schumann, Bridge, and Tchaikovsky.

The mainly Early Music concerts in St Mary’s Church, Warwick offer a superb mix of vocal and instrumental programmes this season from the Chelys Consort with Fair Oriana, the Bellot Ensemble (BBC New Generation Baroque Ensemble), Ex Cathedra Scholars, and the Musical & Amicable Society, along with a very special appearance from the incomparable I Fagiolini. The free pre-concert talks before each concert in St Mary’s will feature once again where the audience is invited to take a closer look 'Behind the Music'.

Leamington Music also launch a brand new Richard Phillips Coffee Concerts series, based mainly in the Unitarian Chapel in Warwick, in memory of the organisation's founder, whose work has enabled twenty wonderful years of music-making. There are four concerts in this series, given by Toby Carr (lute) and Hugo Hymas (tenor), the LANO String Quartet, Harriet Adie (harp), and Ellen Smith (mezzo-soprano) and Elizabeth Haughan (piano).

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.
