Bringing classical music to smaller communities
Summer 2025
It is with a sad heart that, after almost 11 years, we must bring the concerts at Stokesley to an end. It has proved impossible to rebuild the audience after the Covid-19 lock-downs. The final concert will feature pianist Matthew Lau on Thursday 5th June.
We offer our sincere thanks to our many friends for their loyal support over the years, to Anna Jackson for the use of her piano at Stokesley and to the members and staff of Stokesley Methodist Church for their unfailing help. Concerts continue at Marske Leisure Centre on the third Thursday of the month. Peter Sotheran
