Rob Burton burst onto the scene when he won the Woodwind Category Final of BBC Young Musician in 2018 and secured a place in the Grand Final. In early 2019 he delighted the Thaxted audience at our season launch, and has since gone on to perform with leading UK orchestras and appear in prestigious international festivals. He is featured by Classic FM as one of their ‘Stars of Tomorrow’, and we are delighted to welcome him back to Thaxted along with richly-talented Mark Rogers on piano. Mark hails from Texas, and studied at the Royal Academy of Music where he was awarded first prize in Art Song accompaniment.

This concert is supported by Thaxted Music Lovers.

The concert will be followed by a reception for Gold level Thaxted Music Lovers, by invitation.

Venue: Thaxted United Reformed Church

“[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.”
