About us
We are a community of classical music lovers, both performers and listeners.
Our series of informal musical evenings features artists drawn from our membership, and runs from September to June. The repertoire ranges from early music right up to the present day, combining the familiar with items less often performed.
Except where indicated, all of our concerts are at Brighton Unitarian Church, New Road, Brighton BN1 1UF, on Saturdays at 7.30 pm.
Annual membership is £25, and includes free admission for the year.
Admission for non-members is £5.

Message from Karen Rash
I play flute in Eastbourne Symphony Orchestra and their next concert on Sunday October 21st is highly recommended (even if I say so myself!). Do come along if you can!
Eastbourne Symphony Orchestra's autumn concert is on Sunday 21 October at 7pm in St Saviour's Church, South Street BN21 4UT. The programme starts with Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture (Fingal’s Cave) for which he found inspiration during a holiday in Scotland in 1829. Then follows Mozart’s Concerto for Flute No 1 in G when the soloist will be Sirius Chau from the Royal College of Music who is the winner of the ESO’s annual young soloist competition which took place last January. After the interval, the orchestra ends the concert with Dvořák’s ‘New World Symphony’, arguably one of the most popular of all symphonies. This will be the ESO’s 140th concert and ends its 38th season. The leader is Lisa Wigmore and the conductor is Graham Jones. Tickets are £14 in advance (£12 for ESO Friends) or £15 on the door (£13 for ESO Friends). More details on www.eso.org.uk
