Our annual concert, complimentary and exclusive to Friends of Ensemble Reza, has to date been held in fabulous local venues including Borde Hill House and Holmstead Manor. The evening includes drinks tasty canapés and is a chance to meet and chat with players and other Friends and of course enjoy an evening of first class music.
'What a brilliant concert last night - really lifted my spirits.' Marion Wilcock
'What a great evening again. Such a joy. You give us all such a wonderful Friends do, infact the best Friends event of any I know. So huge thanks to you. I loved every moment, and particularly adored the Argentinian tango with those extraordinarily beautiful textures and hope it will be on the CD. And what a lot of laughs, especially Anna arriving from Siberia. Wow! What next?' Ann Turrall.
Friends of Ensemble Reza
We are very grateful to our Friends group. Without their financial support each year we could not continue to run our free lunchtime concert series and develop our education and community programmes.
Our community orchestra for musicians of all ages and abilities has proved an enormous success and current orchestra includes over 80 musicians. We have just started a concert series for children at Ingfield Manor School, partly funded by the Friends and the Paul Rooney Foundation at Sussex Community Foundation. This school includes pupils aged 3 to 19 with neurological motor impairment such as cerebral palsy.
We currently have over 70 members in our Friends Scheme. If you would like to join, please complete the form below.
