New for 2011-2012: The Works A brand new series of concerts launching in Autumn 2011. Each informal concert lasts 80 minutes and gives you a chance to be guided through a piece of music by the conductor and musicians before a full performance of it. Events start at 8pm, with music in the bar before and a chance to meet musicians afterwards.
