music

On Saturday 27 January at 7pm we have our annual Rising Stars concert in conjunction with the Royal College of Music.  This year’s star is Paul Mnatsakanov, a brilliant young pianist who has won several international competitions and has recently performed at the Wigmore Hall.  The classical first half will include music by Mozart, and the second half comprises Mussorgsky’s famous Pictures at an Exhibition.  The charities we shall be supporting are the RCM’s Hardship Fund and the Steinway Fund – our magnificent Steinway will have been fully serviced before this recital.   Tickets (adults £10, students / under 18s £5) are available in person from Robertsons in Bramley High Street, or from Stuart White (bramleymusic2012@gmail.com or 01483 892645).

2021


Beethoven in Bramley Nov 2021

Bramley Music’s first post-lockdown concert on 4th September - ‘Beethoven in Bramley’ with concert pianist Maureen Galea - was sold out within just a few days!  As a result, we announced a repeat of the concert in November 2021, and that was also sold out within just a few days.   Clearly we had been missing live music!
