Herefordshire

'Principally promotes concerts in Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire ... We feel that a welcoming and relaxed environment greatly enhances the audience’s experience and we take care over this aspect at all our concerts. Whenever possible, we like to add complimentary extras, for example strawberries and cream at some of our summer concerts and mince pies/cakes in the winter.'

'We have over 60 professional musicians and teachers working with around 3,000 children and young people every week in our schools and communities, backed up by our friendly and efficient managers and office team.'

'Founded in 1992 ... We currently have around 80 members and hold meetings usually once a month. These meetings take the form of visits to local organs of interest and those further afield, talks about organs and organ music, and social events ... Our membership is made up of all sorts of people interested in the organ: professional and amateur players, those who enjoy listening to organ music and those interested in the construction and sound of the organ.'

‘Identifying with the needs of Herefordshire people, Music in Quiet Places delivers homegrown talent direct to many of our beautiful outlying villages, with the aim of establishing a following of people who appreciate top quality music in intimate surroundings and have an interest in visiting our rural churches ... Events are often free of charge. Most performers are giving freely of their time in order to build up funds to support the work of HHCT, and to engage the services of an increasing number of professional musicians in subsequent seasons (whilst maintaining a unique Herefordshire feel, of course).‘
