A Festive Afternoon of Music in Trellech
The Monmouth Concert Orchestra is preparing to fill the historic Parish Church of St Nicholas in Trellech with seasonal cheer during its annual Christmas concert. This much-anticipated festive event will take place on Sunday, December 7, beginning at 4.30pm, offering the perfect opportunity for local communities to embrace the holiday spirit.
Programme Details and Charity Support
Audiences can expect a delightful programme featuring both Christmas classics and beloved film music from celebrated composers including Anderson, Borodin, Nicolai, Torme & Wells, and Vaughan Williams. The orchestra continues its tradition of supporting local charitable causes, with this year's proceeds benefiting Music for Memories, a Forest of Dean-based organisation that creates personalised playlists for individuals living with dementia. These playlists have been shown to significantly reduce agitation, improve mood, and spark precious memories.
Ticket Information and Participation
Tickets are priced at £8, while attendees aged under 16 can enjoy the performance completely free of charge. They can be purchased directly from orchestra members in advance or secured on the door at the event. The Monmouth Concert Orchestra brings together amateur musicians from across Herefordshire, Monmouthshire and the Forest of Dean, rehearsing fortnightly during term time. The ensemble welcomes new players of approximately Grade V standard or above, with no audition process required. Those interested in joining can find further details on the orchestra's official website.
