🌸🍰Charity Milestone Ahead of "Sounds of Spring" Concert🍰🌸

We've recently celebrated a wonderful fundraising milestone, marking over £2,500 donated to local charities with a special cake at rehearsal!

Audrey Cousins had the honour of cutting the cake at Bramshaw Village Hall, surrounded by her fellow musicians.

We've supported a range of fantastic charities and next up is our "Sounds of Spring" concert on 14 March 2026 at Hanger Farm Arts Centre, conducted by Simon Wilkins. Join us for Beethoven's 5th Symphony and a programme full of spring colour and energy - supporting the Minstead Trust.
