Concerts

From inception, it has always been Musical Banquet's mission to take our unique performance style of Early Music out to a wider audience, to make it fun and enjoyable for the listener as well as interesting, informative and of high quality. A key element within this is to devote a proportion of our time to charity fundraising, whether local or national charities, churches or community-based arts and technical projects.

We are delighted and proud that over the past year or so we have supported a diverse range of organisations, assisting them in raising cash to continue their work.

These include:
  • Benslow Trust Music: £650
  • Music for Autism: £235
  • Hitchin Schools Worker Trust: £550
  • Various churches: £920
  • Dorchester Abbey: £850
  • Wells for India: £1110

    We are always pleased to consider requests from others who would like our help and we are always willing to try to make time in our busy diary to help out if we possibly can. Please contact us if you would like Musical Banquet to perform a concert to raise funds for your organisation.
