What the charity does

The charity arranges a series of concerts and performances throughout the year in the Felixstowe area of Suffolk. In 2016 a winter series of musical performances was arranged at the Orwell Hotel on Wednesday lunchtimes, and in the summer a very successful 'Young Musicians' series which gave many young musicians from the area an opportunity to perform in public, either alone or in a group.
