BENEDETTI CONCERT ON HOLD DUE TO LOCKDOWN

Unfortunately, following the Government announcement of the National lockdown taking place from 5th November, we are unable to deliver the Nicola Benedetti concert as we originally intended on 26th November. The safety of our musicians, music-leaders and audiences is very important to us. However, we're currently exploring other options so that we can continue to bring you live orchestral music. We will continue to post further announcements regarding the Nicola Benedetti concert and future concerts over the next few weeks.

"We passionately believe in the power of orchestral music to move, entertain and most importantly bring people together. We want as many people as possible, from every part of our community, to experience live orchestral music and to take part in music-making. Its a commonly used cliche to say music enhances and even changes peoples lives, but we see it happen. Every penny raised is directed towards this goal."
