The Heath Quartet (www.heathquartet.com) first performed a memorable programme at Langton in 2018 to a packed audience. The Quartet was formed in 2002 at the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester and is now one of the most established British String Quartets. It was selected for representation by the Young Classical Arts Trust (YCAT) and has since won numerous national and international competitions. In 2016 it won the GRAMOPHONE Chamber Award for the recording of the Tippett quartets. In May 2013 the Quartet became the first ensemble in fifteen years to win the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society's Young Artists Award. The Quartet's Tippett album was followed by two discs recorded for Harmonia Mundi/PIAS and part-funded by a BBC Special Ensemble Scholarship featuring Tchaikovsky’s first and third quartets (BBC Radio 3 Disc of the Week) and the complete Bartók quartets (2017 Limelight Chamber Music Award; nominated for 2018 GRAMOPHONE Chamber Award). Their most recent release on Signum Records with Carolyn Sampson features works by Berg, Webern and Schoenberg. Recent highlights include a two-season residency at Berlin’s Pierre Boulez Saal, a Barcelona debut in Palau de la Musica Catalana, a Beethoven series at Bath Festival, debuts at Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Saffron Hall and Cheltenham Festival, as well as concerts at Handelsbeurs Ghent, Aldeburgh and Norfolk & Norwich festivals.

In the 2023/24 season the Heath Quartet toured the USA, gave a live broadcast with Steven Osborne for the BBC Proms, and performed in BBC Radio 4's How to Play - a special programme focussing on Schubert's 'Death and the Maiden' Quartet. It gave the inaugural concert at the newly renovated Brighton Dome Corn Exchange and enjoyed collaborations with, amongst others, Tom Poster, Ben Goldscheider and the Elias String Quartet. .
The Heath Quartet became String Quartet in Residence at Middlesex University for 2025 and in May 2025 Maja Horvat, who is a founding member of the Brompton Quartet (winner of theSt. Martin-in-the-Fields Chamber Music Competition 2021) and a member of the Astatine Trio, (a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist for 2025-27), succeeded Juliette Roos on violin.

Note that the Langton Concerts have become increasingly well known and it is very advisable to book early to avoid disappointment as there are normally few, if any, spaces available on the door on the day of the concerts themselves.
