Thaxted Live!

Saturday 13 July, 2.00-6.00pm

!!CANCELLED!!

Thaxted Live and Thaxted Festival are very sorry to announce that due to bad weather the Windmill Live Music Event from 2-6pm this Saturday is CANCELLED.

The decision has not been taken lightly but access to the Windmill is not practical after rain, plus the forecast for the actual event is not great either.

In the spirit of Gustav Holst, who championed all musicians whether amateur or professional, we invite you to join us in his beloved surroundings in Thaxted.

Come and celebrate Thaxted’s musical talent across all genres at this open-air event on a summer’s afternoon. Let us know in advance if you’d like to join in the music-making (music@thaxtedfestival.co.uk), or just come along. It’s a free event, and there will be a licensed bar and food truck, with pre-ordering available. (Details will be posted here nearer the time.) Last year’s event was enjoyed by all ages.

Venue: John Webb’s Windmill, Thaxted.

“[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.”
Thaxted Festival concertgoer
