Ahead of our 2012 season
If you are hungry for music while Concerts at Cratfield takes its winter break, an enterprising new not-for-profit website summarises future concerts (and more) across the region: click here for East Anglia Music and Arts.
In addition, below are links to a range of possibilities for chamber music, mostly within East Suffolk, including some performers well known at Cratfield:
Stour Valley Arts & Music: its season of concerts at East Bergholt is already under way, running through to March 2012 and including the Navarra String Quartet
Aldeburgh Music: the Friday lunchtime chamber music series at the Jubilee Hall, Aldeburgh opened on 6 January 2012: click here for our ‘post’ about the opening concert. This series of thirteen weekly concerts includes the Wu Quartet, who return to Suffolk to play Tippett, Vasks and Schubert at Cratfield in August 2012: click here for the page about this concert.
The Cut at Halesworth: concerts within the Halesworth Festival are followed in March 2012 by a series of four string quartet concerts on Sunday afternoons (booking now open) – these include the Heath Quartet
Ipswich Chamber Music Society: four concerts over the winter
Southwold Concert Series: a series of concerts up to May 2012.
There is a concert of early music at Sudbourne Church at 7pm on Saturday 26 May 2012 by students from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama: Poeticall Musicke includes works by Byrd, Dowland and Purcell.

Though not quite East Suffolk, there is also an interesting concert programme at the new venue The Apex, Bury St Edmunds.
