SPRING IS COMING!

​​​

The Music Circle’s 83rd Season’s Autumn concerts brought rewarding comments from our audiences and reviewers alike. We were wowed by the brilliance of Kosmos Ensemble’s fantastic programme from around the globe. The three players showing great rapport and demonstrating their individual virtuosity. The recital by bassoonist Siping Guo with Apolline Khou on piano displayed excellent programme choices performed with commanding technique and musicality. This was hugely enjoyed and greeted with enthusiastic applause. The acclaimed pianist Leon McCawley treated us to a wonderful recital. We savoured a rich programme skilfully displaying precise and exciting articulation and a full dynamic range all expertly handled with musicianship at the highest level.  We are now pleased to announce the Spring series 2025 of three contrasting concerts and hope to see you all there!

 

The series opens on February 15th in St Mary’s Church with the SUSSEX CHAMBER PLAYERS offering a ‘must go to’ concert for chamber music enthusiasts with gems of the repertoire for string sextet and octet. A wonderful way to spend a winter afternoon with the performance starting at 4.30pm.

 

We return to our evening start time of 7.00pm for the March and May concerts. On March 15th we will hear something quite different for the Music Circle in the Causeway Barn when modern-day keyboard technology replaces the familiar sound of the harpsichord bringing the baroque into the 21st century. BAROQUE ALCHEMY is an electro-baroque fusion duo! created by recorder virtuoso Piers Adams with keyboardist Lyndy Mayle.

 

May 10th promises a thrilling close to our season with one of the leading brass quintets playing for our 83rd Anniversary concert at St Mary’s Church. ONYX BRASS will give us an inspirational programme from the Renaissance to British and American brass favourites and Songs from the Shows. 

 

See the What’s On page for details of all concerts.

​​

We continue to acknowledge the generosity of the late Margaret & Tony Smith together with supporters’ donations which has allowed us to extend our programming.
