HHH Haslemere Concerts has a long history of music making. It can trace its origins back to 1934. From Jacqueline du Pré and James Galway to Sheku Kanneh-Mason, many of the UK and Europe’s most celebrated chamber musicians have appeared in our series over the years. And who will ever forget the highlight of our 2024/25 season, in the form of Angela Hewitt playing the Goldberg Variations. We also provide a platform for the best young, emerging classical musicians.
We are delighted to introduce our 2025/2026 programme.
Our Six Concert Saturday Evening Season commenced 20 September with the distinguished Piatti Quartet and pianist, Simon Callaghan. They are widely renowned for their profound music making and their lyrical warmth. Other ensembles will have included the Bellot Baroque Ensemble and will include the London Chamber Ensemble. We are also privileged to host the young, Spanish star pianist Víctor Braojos, the Sitkovetsky Trio with clarinettist Julian Bliss, and finally the Fibonacci Quartet.
In addition to our Evening Season, we are delighted to offer a programme of Lunchtime Community Concerts (13:00 start) and Morning Coffee Concerts (11:00 start).
We continue to develop our outreach work with local primary schools and Woolmer Hill secondary school. Last year we provided musical enjoyment to nearly 300 local children and their 20 teachers. This is a central part of our charitable objective of bringing classical music to the community
We would not be able to undertake our ambitious musical programme without the generous support of our Benefactors, Sponsors, and Season Ticket holders.
