This concert brings together rising-star artists who are set to have stellar careers. Charlotte Saluste-Bridoux needs no introduction to Thaxted audiences as she has performed for us in recent years and is opening our season with the Beethoven Violin Concerto on 20 June. She is joined by clarinettist Jonathan Leibovitz, who is developing his career both as a chamber artist and orchestral soloist across Europe. Both appear under the auspices of the Young Classical Artists Trust. Together with in-demand pianist and former YCAT artist Jonathan Ware they will bring fresh and thrilling musicianship to this colourful and exciting programme.

Thaxted Festival is proud of its tradition of featuring exceptional young musicians in the earlier stages of their careers, and our audiences have always delighted in being able to say ‘we heard them first in Thaxted’. (Think Nigel Kennedy, Nicola Benedetti, Jamie Cullum, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, and many others!)

‘It's evident that Jonathan Leibovitz is an extraordinarily gifted clarinettist. He has that singular ability to mesmerise the listener in everything he does, moulding every phrase with imagination, infallible control and above all with a commanding personality.’ BBC Music Magazine

“[The Tippett Quartet] concert as part of the 2023 Thaxted Festival revealed a group of musicians of profound interpretative depth, and capable of traversing a wide range of repertoire.”
Colin Clarke, Classical Explorer
“A positively life-enhancing performance of Donizetti’s The Elixir of Love in English with reduced ensemble by Wild Arts…”
Colin Clarke, Classical Explorer
“The performance was a joy … and the quartet brought out its sense of both structural and linear perfection.” Holst’s Phantasy Quartet Op 36 performed by the Tippett Quartet.
Colin Clarke, Classical Explorer
“The Tippett Quartet and Emma Abbate have performed Schumann’s Piano Quintet together many times. On this occasion they combined flawless execution with instinctive – and utterly engaging – musicianship.”
Claire Seymour, in Seen and Heard International.
“…this was a wonderfully enjoyable and engaging performance that really punched above its weight. The audience in Thaxted clearly loved it and were fully engaged, whilst this experienced reviewer was carried away as well.”
Wild Art’s production of The Elixir of Love, reviewed by Robert Hugill in Planet Hugill
“2 terrific concerts I heard with London Mozart Players.”
Thaxted Festival concertgoer
“I think Gustav is smiling down to see how his memory and that of his best friend and colleague Ralph Vaughan Williams are honoured by the expertly played pieces they both composed.”
Thaxted Festival concertgoer
“It's always the variety and quality which keeps me coming back.”
