YOUNG musicians from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire will be performing two concerts in Leamington.
The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Piano Quintet play on Tuesday June 9 at noon, and the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir on Tuesday June 16 at 7.30pm.
Both concerts, promoted by Leamington Music which has close links with the conservatoire, take place at Holy Trinity Church on Beauchamp Avenue, Leamington Spa CV32 5RG
The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Piano Quintet were the winners of the 2026 Leamington Music Prize, awarded following a competition in March each year to students at the conservatoire.
Yuwen Fan and Tehya Dawson on violin, Sheng Zhang on viola, Ian Zhao Hongze on cello and Joachim Lim on piano played the first movement of Dvořák’s wonderful Piano Quintet in A major, Op. 81 for their-prize-winning performance in the competition, and the audience will be treated to the full work at Holy Trinity Church.
The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir returns after their well-received debut in 2023. The choir’s growing reputation nationally and internationally has resulted in regular recordings.
The choir is conducted by Julian Wilkins, who works with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Choruses, Hallé Choir, Brandenburg Sinfonia, and Baroque Soloists, among many prestigious musical organisations throughout the UK and overseas.
He has chosen an exciting range of composers – Bach, Britten, Byrd, Holst, Howells, Tippett, and Millicent James – for this concert, entitled Voices of Faith and Freedom.
