After the success of concerts last year and our recent four-concert music festival we are excited to announce details of a new concert series: six monthly concerts commencing in June; from winter to spring.

Christ Church, the venue, with its spacious nave of six bays and beautiful stained glass windows is a unique and special setting with fine acoustics for these chamber music
concerts.

Again we are bringing our audiences an exciting variety of concerts from baroque to romantic periods with song and unique instruments, including the musette, the smallest and most charming bagpipe, to a full string ensemble and the big sounds of our much loved town band.
