2026 Season

Wednesday 10th June 19:30

St. James' the Less Church, Pangbourne RG8 7AX​
 

Join Artistic Director Poppy Beddoe and award-winning musicians Oliver Wass and James Flannery for an intimate concert celebrating the distinctive sounds of clarinet, viola, and harp. This colourful and varied programme moves from the elegance of French Baroque music to the smoky atmosphere of early twentieth-century Paris and the unmistakable swing of American jazz, showcasing the expressive possibilities of this unusual trio.

The concert will feature works by Jacques Ibert, Rebecca Clarke, George Gershwin, and François Couperin, alongside a new work by our Composer in Residence.

St. James' the Less Church, Pangbourne RG8 7AX​

Champagne and Candlelight

Join violist James Flannery, clarinettist Poppy Beddoe and the Brompton Quartet for a rich and compelling evening of chamber music.
The programme centres on two late masterpieces by Johannes Brahms: the radiant String Quintet in G major, Op.111, bursting with warmth and symphonic breadth, and the deeply expressive Clarinet Quintet in B minor, one of Brahms’s most intimate and autumnal works.
Together, these works offer a journey through Brahms at his most lyrical and profound, brought to life by an exceptional ensemble in an evening of depth, colour, and musical conversation.
