What we’re about
If you love playing or just listening to the piano, our group is for you!
All abilities/styles welcome and no previous performance experience required. We have the exclusive use of a newly-refurbished Newcastle venue with great acoustics, two grand pianos along with a digital. There's no requirement to perform or be a pianist to attend.
Our main piano is a brand new 6ft2 Kawai GL50 Grand (photo below!)
The events on first Sunday each month will be informal and relaxed, the aim being to increase performance confidence and have fun. If you'd like to try a duet, there'll be plenty of accompanists available! There's also and extended period before the events start that can be used for free practice.
Refreshments included. There's an attendance fee of £7, whether playing or not. This is to cover the operational costs (including the piano!)
Looking forward to meeting you and hopefully hearing you play!
