Tickets and mailing list
For everything to do with tickets, or to add or modify your details or preferences on our free mailing-list, contact:
Tom Southern
Box Office, Blyth Valley Chamber Music,
Marshwinds, 32 Saxmundham Road,
Aldeburgh, Suffolk IP15 5JE
phone 01728 453193
If you phone, please do so between 10am and 6pm, and not on weekends or public holidays: this maximises the chance Tom will take your call in person and deal with your enquiry straight away. If no-one answers, please leave your name and phone number as clearly as you can and a brief message.
e-mail info@concertsatcratfield.org.uk
Our mailing list now gives you the option to have all communications from us by e-mail (including a booking form) – this also reduces our postal bill. Or you can keep having the season brochure mailed to you but also add regular updates by e-mail. As you’ll realise, this website carries much more information – and is often more up-to-date – than the printed season brochure. To ask to be added to our e-mail alert service or to stop receiving a brochure by post, just contact the Box Office.

Performing at Cratfield
If you are interested in performing for us, contact Philip Britton, our Concert Organiser, at the address, e-mail or phone number above. Before doing so, please first have a look at this year’s main Concerts page, as well as at the Past Concerts page. Alternatively, click here for a downloadable file of the past concert information in PDF format; the file will either open as a new on-screen page or be downloaded to your computer, depending on your own browser settings or preferences. This will give you a good idea of the sorts of programme we like and of the performer/s we invite to play for us.
You will see that we do not welcome combinations of instruments for which most of the repertoire has had to be arranged, or where the concert would have a large number of short works; and we have a general rule that every concert should include at least one work by a composer whose name will be familiar to most of our audience. A recital by a single singer with piano is exceptional; and concerts of baroque or pre-classical repertoire find a place only every two or three years.
Please also be aware that we plan our seasons at least 18 months ahead (2013 is already firmly organised and some 2014 concerts are already fixed), so it may be a while before we can even consider you for a future concert. And we never normally book any performers unless the Concert Organiser or another Committee member has heard you at a public concert.
