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)
