Our concerts
We are determined to ensure that our concerts are not just highly enjoyable musical occasions but also an integral part of community life. They offer an opportunity to catch up with friends as well as make new ones; to hear familiar music and - hopefully - also some less familiar music that you will swiftly come to love. They are also events for all ages; we believe very strongly that high quality musical organisations - particularly those with a strong community focus - have a responsibility to share their music with everyone, not just those for whom attending a classical music concert is a routine experience. For that reason we always offer very affordable child tickets throughout our venues as well as affordable full price tickets. We also take our work into schools and invite local schoolchildren and parents to witness our final rehearsals free of charge. If you would like to support or take advantage of these opportunities please do get in touch.
Future concert plans
​
As yet unscheduled concert plans include the completion of our cycle of the major Handel oratorios, motets by Bruckner and others, Bach's St Matthew Passion, Magnificats by JS Bach, CPE Bach and Arvo Pårt, further great English choral anthems and a series of new commissions.
