Christmas Community Coffee Concert

Following the success of our first concert at Batheaston New Village Hall we are returning for for the Solsbury Hill Ensemble Community Christmas Coffee Concert on Monday, December 18 2023, at 10.30 AM. This event will take place in the beautiful Batheaston New Village Hall on School Lane, Batheaston, BA1 7EP.

This is a Christmas concert for all the family. Expect music ranging classical treasures such as The Nutcracker and The Snowman to Christmas Carols, Christmas Pop Classics, music from Disney’s Frozen and plenty more!

Arrive from 1030 for chat, coffee and cake/mince pies, with the music starting at 11. To keep the music centre stage we shall stop serving at 11 so please arrive in time to grab your complimentary coffee/tea and cake (with pre-booked tickets) and get seated.

This concert will feature local professional musicians Alison Boden (Violin), Lucy Hewson (Violin and Viola) and Lorna Davis (Cello).

The musicians can often be seen playing locally and nationally, whether that is with the Pump Room Trio, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Welsh National Opera or leading Bath Symphony Orchestra. Other highlights include regularly playing live on Radio, on CD recordings, on TV and at venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, The Coliseum, The London Palladium and The Royal Opera House to name a few! They are proud to now be working for Live Music Now, the charity founded by Yehudi Menuhin as a way to make music accessible to all. 

A word from the musicians…

We are so excited to bring this Christmas Concert to Batheaston. We had such a great time playing for you all in October and loved seeing how much everyone enjoyed it. We especially loved the mix of ages at the event and how everyone could appreciate the music side by side. 

For children there will be plenty to keep them interested whether that is getting close to the musicians, dancing with ribbons or scarfs, listening, drawing to the music, asking questions, creating using playdoh or eating cake! If children (or adults!) would like to wear any Christmas outfits please do. There will be plenty of sparkle in this concert!

Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with your community and appreciate the beauty of live music in a relaxed atmosphere.

Please book ahead to avoid disappointment (and so we know how much cake to bring!) and we will look forward to seeing you there!

Please note that for publicity for future events we are hoping to take some photographs on the day. Do have a word at the door if you or anyone you are with would not like to be in any photographs.

Guardians are responsible for their children at all times. 

If you are bringing lunch/additional snacks for yourself or for your children please avoid nuts, thank you!
