Scheduled Concerts and Events

  • CANCELLED - Music From Around the World Concert - Saturday May 21st 2022
    Voices of the Forest choir sends its heartfelt apologies to our loyal followers, but we are unable to perform in this concert. Rehearsals have been seriously disrupted due to a high number of Covid cases in the choir. Sadly we no longer feel we can perform to the standard that is normally expected of us. However the Nova Foresta Duo will still be giving a recital on that date (Tickets: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/nova-foresta-classical-players/music-around-the-world/e-zdxljk), so do please still go along and support them in New Milton, they are well worth listening to. Meanwhile we look forward to reviving our programme at a later date.
