Music, moonlight and Helmingham - a magical combination
Coldplay and Ed Sheeran
26th June 2026
Helmingham Hall is excited to welcome guests for a set of intimate concert experiences, set beneath the glow of a giant moon in the magnificent Great Hall.
Join us on Friday 26th June at 6pm, as the acclaimed Kavolini string ensemble returns for an enchanting evening of classical music.
Kavolini, a dynamic string group based in Norfolk, was formed in 2015 by musicians who have performed with prestigious British orchestras such as the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. The ensemble’s members have also toured globally, working with renowned bands like Blur, The Cranberries, and The Pretenders.
Experience an unforgettable evening where the intimacy of Kavolini string quartet meets the global pop anthems of Ed Sheeran and Coldplay. Soaring melodies and heartfelt lyrics are reimagined through the warm resonance of strings.
From the tender romance of “Perfect,” to the rhythmic energy of “Viva La Vida,” and the rousing crescendo of “Fix You” this programme fills you with the positivity of some of Britain’s most celebrated musicians. Quiet introspection takes centre stage in “The Scientist,” and the mood shifts with the edgy and percussive drive of “Bad Habits”.
Throughout the evening, inventive arrangements reveal new colours within these beloved hits. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or simply curious to hear pop classics anew, this concert promises warmth, nostalgia, and exhilarating momentum. Enduring melodies shimmer in fresh sounds as Kavolini transforms stadium favourites into chamber music magic you won’t soon forget.
