Season 2023-24 Ends

We’ve come to the end of another season, and what a year it’s been!

The season opened with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, and closed with Mozart’s Symphony No. 38.

Our soloists have included Essex Young Musician of the Year winner Jamie Cochrane, cellist Rebecca Welham, and local pianist Philip Elwell. Plus our very own cellist, Lucy Barnes, also gave a stunning solo performance during Clara Schumann’s Piano Concerto.

There have been four concerts, with four wonderful audiences. We’ve welcomed guest musicians, and of course, our own SBMS musicians who regularly turn up on Thursday evenings to rehearse.

This season has also seen a rebrand, a new website, growth in our mailing list and a new self-hosted ticketing system. It’s safe to say, it’s been a good year!

We’re now looking towards our 2024-25 season, with lots of work going on behind the scenes in preparation. Make sure you sign up to our mailing list to hear the news first!
