AUTUMN AWAITS!

​

​​​

The Music Circle’s Spring 2025 concerts offered remarkable variety and drew enthusiastic audiences. Sussex Chamber Players gave an exhilarating chamber feast, Baroque Alchemy’s inventive fusion lit up the Barn with colour and creativity, and Onyx Brass closed the season in truly celebratory style. Now we turn to our 84th Season and a fresh series of autumn delights – three fine concerts to savour and share. We look forward to welcoming both familiar faces and new listeners for another inspiring musical journey.

 

We open the season on Saturday 20th September at 7.00pm in St Mary’s Church, with a celebration of two popular piano quintets – Schubert’s sparkling ‘Trout’ and Vaughan Williams’s lyrical early work for the same joyous combination. Our performers from ENSEMBLE 360, including pianist TIM HORTON and rising star double bassist WILL DUERDEN, bring exceptional musicality and warmth. A triumphant start to the season.

 

Then on Saturday 18th October at 7.00pm, we welcome one of the UK’s most admired period keyboard artists, STEVEN DEVINE, for an intimate recital in the Causeway Barn. A familiar figure on the early music scene, Steven brings a wealth of experience as harpsichordist, conductor and teacher, with regular engagements across Europe and the UK.

 

Finally, on Saturday 29th November at 4.30pm, we’re delighted to bring back harpist Heather Wrighton, joined by flautist Emma Halnan and violist Marie De Bry as the AURORA TRIO. Their unusual instrumentation and expressive style promise a captivating close to our Autumn series, with music by Bax, Debussy and Ravel in the atmospheric Causeway Barn.

​

We continue to acknowledge the generosity of the late Margaret & Tony Smith together with supporters’ donations which has allowed us to extend our programming.

 

A further series of concerts is to come in the Spring of 2026 to complete the Circle’s 84th Season.

 

Full booking details and programme information can be found on the What’s On and Bookings pages. The concerts are open to all. Individual tickets available but do consider taking advantage of the special deal for those attending all three Autumn concerts. Tickets also available on the door.

​​​​

NEAREST PARKING: behind Causeway Barn (from 6pm), Denne Road Car Park RH12 1JH, or Forum Car Park RH12 1NU (closes 10pm).

 

Cash payments (bring coins!) will be accepted at the concerts for Interval refreshments Wine/Juice £4/£1 and programmes £1.

​

We look forward to seeing you again—and to welcoming new audience members discovering the joy of live music for the first time. Come along and give it a try!
