A very special weekend last week as we performed Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Quartet No.2 for the first time on what would have been RVW’s 153rd birthday and also the 81st anniversary of the premiere of the 2nd Quartet!

Written in the midst of WWll during the 1940’s, it’s a richly dark and passionate work with a prominent role for the viola, dedicated to his friend and violist Jean Stewart.

It also marked a final concert at Weston church and the series there after 25 years. This was our 5th performance in Weston and was also the location of our recording of Mark-Anthony Turnage Quartet’s during the pandemic, so a bittersweet moment and thanks to Weston Music Society for everything they’ve done over the years.

Our final concert was held on 12th October 2025 when we welcomed back the wonderful Piatti Quartet for their fifth visit to Weston.

The Society has tried hard to promote a wide variety of small-scale music-making. It has included marimbas, Paraguayan guitars, solo and choral singing, brass groups, recorders, keyboards of many sizes, wind bands and more. Particular excitements have included three visits by the supreme baroque violinist Rachel Podger, two by students and staff of the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, now three by Apollo5, as well as numerous superb guitarists Sean Shibe among them.

But sadly the aftermath of Covid, new financial restraints and management exhaustion have taken their toll. Unless others come froward now to take their places the trustees intend to wind the Society up at the end of this season. We’ve had a very good run.
