Cheltenham Music Society Programme 2010/11

The highlights of the season are the most welcome return of the Takacs Quartet and the Nash Ensemble with a piano trio line up, also Steven Osborne playing Schubert's last three piano sonatas. It is rather longer since the Vogler Quartet played for us,they are touring to mark the 25th anniversary of their formation. The Danish Quartet are the most recent winners of the London International String Quartet Competition, and the Heath Quartet ar a fast-rising young British ensemble whose recent Wigmore Hall concert immediately prompted an invitation to return - twice! Wind instruments are featured in the London Conchord Ensemble whose programme will feature solo sonatas alongside piano and wind quintets. It is our intention also that the Nash Ensemble will also perform duo sonatas for cello and violin alongside trios. Belinda Williams is a young mezzo soprano. She is supported by the Tillett Trust, who are invariably a reliable guide to artists with a bright future; her programme will include songs by Mahler.

We are also running a sister series under the title Cheltenham Contemporary Concerts, featuring live music by living composers.

The venue for the main concert series is the the Pittville Pump Room, a stunningly elegant concert hall in Cheltenham's utopic Pittville park, while the contemporary series visits other venues in the town including the Cheltenham Hindu Community Centre and St. Andrews in Montpellier, the town's fashionable wine bar quarter.

Tickets can be bought separately for each event, but subscription to the whole of either series offers big savings as well as the opportunity to hear a wonderfully rich and diverse range of chamber music throughout the season.
