2024 Outreach Programme

During September and October our trustees and some committee members have played 18^th century trio sonatas in three residential settings in Worcester and Pershore. In taking our music out to those who are, for various reasons, unable to attend our concerts we were fulfilling our WEM aims to extend our audience base, and additionally contributing to the health and well being of our audiences who enjoyed the opportunity to listen to live music. We played works by Telemann, Handel, Quantz, Loeillet and Richter.

We are grateful to County Councillors Matt Jenkins and Andrew Green who supported this work from their Divisional Fund Budget.
