Malvern Big Band - Concert in aid of Malvern Cube
2025-03-29 19:30 - 22:00 | Malvern Cube, WR14 2YF
As a local community band, Malvern Big Band places great value on its developing relationship with Malvern Cube. This unassuming building is an excellent resource for the local community and is run by a few paid staff and a large team of dedicated volunteers. Since MBB first performed at the Cube, its members have become increasingly aware of how vital it is to many groups in Malvern – not only to performers, but also to the health and well-being of everyone who participates in one of the many activities there. By the time of this concert in March 2025, MBB will have performed at the Cube eight times since its first visit in 2021, so it is, without a doubt, the right venue for the band. As a group, it offers them the best possible combination of performing facilities and audience accommodation.
Malvern Cube will always need to develop and maintain its facilities. So, by purchasing a ticket and coming to this concert (or buying a ticket for someone else) you will be helping to secure its future.
Tickets are available from Malvern Cube (buy online) priced at £12 (18 years and under: £6.00; 10 and under: free) or on the door at £14/£7 (cash only please, no card/contactless facilities available).
Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start.
This is expected to be a popular event and therefore booking tickets in good time is advisable, rather than risking buying them on the door.
Refreshments will be available from the bar throughout the evening (card or cash).

Daniel Tong at 50: Beethoven Weekend
2025-04-25 19:00 - 2025-04-27 16:00 | Hellens, Much Marcle, HR8 2LY
This immersive weekend at Hellens Manor offers the unique experience to hear all of Beethoven’s major chamber works with piano – violin sonatas, cello sonatas and piano trios – in six concerts, performed by three of Britain’s leading chamber players.
As well as being a great composer, Beethoven was a brilliant pianist and performed all of his piano parts himself until deafness prevented him from playing in public for the final part of his career. Therefore, through these works, an insight is glimpsed into Beethoven’s unique and ground-breaking genius as it emerged through his chosen instrument and his own musicianship. From the magnificent Op. 1 piano trios with which he announced himself to the Viennese public, through the Spring and Kreutzer sonatas to the Ghost and Archduke trios, every aspect of Beethoven’s musical persona is on show in these chamber works.
For more information and ticket details, visit the Hellens Manor website.
