Sandbach Concert Series
The Sandbach Concert Series is aimed at promoting music making by youth and community groups of Sandbach and surrounding areas in conjunction with professional musicians.
There will also be an art exhibition on display at each concert, open to any local contributing group.
With an early start time and reasonable ticket prices it aims to encourage more families and younger citizens to experience good quality live acoustic music.

The Concerts
Each 1 hour concert by top class musicians will be preceded by a 30 minute Spotlight Concert celebrating the talent of our community and young local musicians.
With an earlier start and finish time than traditional concerts it is hoped this series will reach to a wider audience, and the reasonable ticket prices will encourage more families and our younger citizens to experience good quality live acoustic classical music, with occasional jazz concerts.
With a 30 minute interval between the Spotlight concert and main concert, it is hoped that this will be an opportunity for concert goers to view an exhibition by local artists which will be on display as well enjoying drinks and a raffle with prizes donated by local businesses.
Each concert will have a nominated Sandbach restaurant which will have a special pre-concert dinner on offer.
People would hopefully come out and support this venture as a way to listen to some good music, support the young people of the town as well as being a regular place to meet on the Sandbach social calendar.
