Join us for an enchanting evening celebrating music for wooing. From the ancient days of the romantic guitarist serenading the object of their affections from below the garden window, music has long been one of our favourite nocturnal pastimes. Join the musicians of the English Symphony Orchestra for an evening of more than just a little night music, with romances and serenades by Elgar, Mozart and Coleridge-Taylor.

ESO’s dementia friendly concerts are integral to our ethos as musicians and performers. Our musicians have many years of experience in this field and are committed to bringing their talents to members of society who are living with dementia and other life debilitating conditions.

Research supports our experience that live music benefits people living with dementia by stimulating memories, reducing agitation and stress and improving communication between residents and staff.
