************************
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.

- EARLY MUSIC CONCERTS from SIXTEEN85
-
Date Posted: Fri, 15 Aug 2025Dear Early Music listers,Just to let you know, in case you don't know already, we have unfortunately had to postpone our lunchtime concert in the Blue Room. The date had changed from Saturday 17th to 24th August, and then, for various logistical reasons we have decided to postpone it altogether. Watch this space for the new date, probably in 2026. If you bought tickets online, the Blue Room will be in touch with you about refunds.We are all very sorry for any inconvenience or disappointment caused.
On a more positive note... we are super excited to have been invited to play onSaturday 13th September in Belton House (exact time to be confirmed, but likely starting mid-morning). The house is just the perfect setting for our core period of music, having been built in the 1680s! This event is part of the Belton Estate Community Festival which coincides with the Heritage Open Weekend. [https://www.heritageopendays.org.uk/submission-event/belton-community-festival-2025.html]
We now have more details about our concert with the Diocesan Ladies' Choir. It is onSaturday October 4th in Metheringham Village Hall at 7pm (NOT the 18th as originally advertised)This is a joint fund-raiser concert with the Diocesan Ladies' Choir, conducted by Lee Rooke, and will include Vivaldi's Gloria, Bach's Jesu Joy of man's desiring alongside lovely choral and instrumental pieces.
On Friday October 10th, 7pm Sixteen Eighty Five members team up with the City of Lincoln Waites to play for the Nettleham All Saints Church Concert series. The title Music through the ages... hints at the amazing range of music we'll be sharing, ranging from the early 13th century Crusade song Palastinalied through to the positively modern 18th century E minor trio sonata by Telemann. And in between, we have a couple of pieces played by members of the newly formed ensemble, "Zoffany" which will include an unfamiliar brass family instrument. You have to be there to find out what it is!Tickets £10 (cash on the door) or from Troika and the Community Hub
On Wednesday November 5th, 12:45pm return to Louth Conoco Room for the Allegro Appassionato lunchtime series. Jane and Helen and Wendy are looking forward to playing another selection of favourites for the lovely audience there.Free (retiring collection)We would love to see you at one or other of the concerts and do bring your friends and family members along too!Best wishesHelen(Helen Mason, Director, Sixteen Eighty Five)PS. If you would like to be removed from this mailing list, please drop me a line.
