With the decorations in the attic and the turkey finally used up in curries and pies, we look forward to an exciting 2025. We wanted to remind you about our forthcoming French Evening, to let you know the latest on our Outreach activities with both children and adults, to update you on our 2025 programme and to recap the benefits of renewing or taking up a 'Friendship' of Grayshott Concerts - priority access to tickets and preferential seating. Additionally, tickets to our Friends' concert (this year featuring the wonderful Emma Johnson and her orchestra) may only be purchased by paid up Friends, and any GiftAid can support our Outreach activities.
We look forward very much to seeing you at, hopefully, a number of our events this year.

Outreach Concerts
A Musical Milestone at the Grayshott Primary School
We are thrilled to share the success of the inaugural concert by Grayshott Primary School's TooTs and DooDs, PBones, and Trumpets! After just five lessons, these enthusiastic young musicians amazed their parents and teachers with their progress, performing a selection of wonderful tunes.
Grayshott Concerts Trustees Mike and Sally Shorthose and Jim Miles were delighted to attend the concert and were moved by the joy and energy of the pupils. Who knows - we may have the next Emma Johnson or Wynton Marsalis among us!
This fantastic initiative was made possible through a Grayshott Concerts Outreach grant, supported by funding from EHDC. A huge thank you to the talented and inspirational team at Hampshire Music Services, whose guidance has been instrumental (sic) in bringing this project to life.
We look forward to seeing how far these budding musicians progress by the end of the school year. Stay tuned for updates!
Ashley House Care Home Concert
We're also bringing the joy of live music to local care homes.
On the morning of Saturday 21 December, Ashley House Care Home in Bordon came alive with music and festive cheer as vocalist Chris Roberts delivered a wonderful performance. The first set featured beloved Christmas favourites, followed by easy listening classics in the second half.
The audience thoroughly enjoyed the event, with several residents dancing in their chairs and sharing the joy with everyone around them. A heartfelt thank you to Chris for his hard work and bringing such warmth and happiness to the care home - it was a truly memorable morning!
