New Music 2025

This is my fifth season as the New Music Curator at Kettle’s Yard, and it’s a real pleasure to see just how keen musicians are to come and play in this uniquely special place. We start the year with the fantastic Ligeti Quartet returning to us for the first time since 2018. Their concert sets up something of a theme for this series, with great composers from the end of the last century sitting alongside music composed in recent years. Although each concert will be completely different, like the Ligeti Quartet, the Leonore Trio, Marie Schreer, Joseph Havlat and Deni Teo are all mesmerising performers. They can communicate directly with an audience, as they take us through fascinating, beautiful, wild, gentle and engrossing evenings of music
