- Greenwood at 30 - an anniversary programme, to include Brandenburg Concertos nos. 4 and 6, Monteverdi's Beatus Vir, a Handel cantata and a Vivaldi recorder concerto. In discussion over dates (26th?) in October 2024, at St Peter's Church, Ugborough.

We believe that music is a profound and positive force and we want to help people experience that to the full, as students, performers, composers and audiences.
If you are interested in tuition or a performance, we would love to hear from you and discuss your ideas.
