Music at Cheltenham

We are a small group of volunteers who care passionately about classical music and want to ensure concerts continue in Cheltenham and the surrounding area. Concerts will only continue if people attend, and audiences need to be big enough to support the orchestras and choirs.

All we do is put information about concerts on this website and send emails with updates about events to people who subscribe to our mailing list. We make no charge for this and we do not share the data of people on our mailing list with any other organisation.

Please do join us – and come to events – to help ensure the continuation of classical music locally for the benefit of everyone.
