Free Community Concerts
In association with:

SPO Community Concerts are FREE to audience members.
They are relaxed, friendly, informal, and happen "on your doorstep" in daylight.
-
Enjoy a visit to your own village or neighbourhood by a group of our top musicians. We visit village halls and community centres across Suffolk.
-
Our musicians introduce and play favourite pieces and chat with you about the music. The concert lasts about an hour.
-
Lunch or tea is provided - all free - often by our very good friends of the Rural Coffee Caravan.
-
It happens in daylight somewhere near you - usually your village hall or community centre.
-
It's informal. There is no need to dress up.
-
Often, lifts are available. It's fun, friendly, and welcoming.
-
We also visit the hospitals and hospices.
Helping in the fight against loneliness
The written audience feedback we receive is rich with the most heartwarming - and humbling - words, including:
-
"Loved the music, the fellowship, the food, and the opportunity to get out." (Felixstowe)
-
"The music was sublime" (Needham Market)
-
"Every second of every sound was superb. Visually and audibly brilliant" (Stowmarket)
-
"Joyful and uplifting, and I enjoyed having the musicians 'amongst us'." (Hadleigh)
-
"I was awestruck! Enchanted! (Bramford)
-
"You have cheered and soothed a very troubled soul - thank you." (Needham Market).
-
"The joy it brought me was the highlight of many years. I was uplifted in my spirits. Not bad for a 60-year-old who hates classical music!! Now converted. Thank you a million." (Bramford)
-
"What a wonderful afternoon!! What a privilege to be able to listen to such talented musicians." (Kesgrave)
-
"Wow! Your coming to Holbrook enabled me to get to hear and enjoy your music. At nearly 90 I can't get round to places." (Holbrook)
