Wow! We are still on SUCH a high from an absolutely amazing concert at Stoller Hall on Sunday. Our keyword of the moment is ‘Joy’, and the magic in that word was on display for everyone to see.

Our new chamber ensemble also had a brilliant rehearsal for this year’s Stoller Hall concert — it’s sounding amazing. Stoller Hall is just days away! Performer sign‑up: ticketsource.co.uk/tameside-music… Audience tickets: stollerhall.com/whats-on/tames… See you Sunday!
