Concerts at St Andrew’s

Concerts at St Andrew’s is a not-for-profit enterprise dedicated to bringing international artists, local talent and the rising stars of the future to perform for local audiences at an affordable price for all to enjoy.

The Concerts series is funded by generous donations and tickets sales from each event.

 

To ensure that we can continue bringing the highest quality performances to your doorstep, we are always looking for support through our ‘Quavers’ scheme:

For a minimum annual donation of £10, for the 2024 series, a Quaver will receive:
a membership card; a free programme at each concert; their name listed in the programme & invitation to the pre-concert reception at one of the concerts each year.
