Fine Music For Free - Recitals 2021

Live Music Returns in Autumn 2021
We're delighted to announce that our Fine Music for Free recitals are returning this Autumn. Please scroll down for the details. 

Since 2017 many talented musicians have helped us raise funds to pay for our Bechstein grand piano by performing at the church for free or next-to-nothing. Now it is our turn to give something back, and during this series we'll be passing 90% of the retiring collection to our performers. So please put something in the basket if you can.

If the Autumn series goes well, we may book in another run of concerts for February - March 2022. If you would like to register an interest in performing then, please email us here.
