Concert for Hugo’s 90th
This is a Past Event and has been Archived.
Hugo Herbert-Jones has become an Aldeburgh legend, with his house and hospitality being a focal point for visiting young artists for over a generation. It is estimated he has provided over 3000 nights of accommodation for musicians, and his generosity continues with games of croquet and pots of home-made marmalade thrown in. As he approaches his 90th birthday, with his enthusiasm for music and being a host seemingly undimmed, we celebrate his extraordinary contribution with a concert of his favourite music – including Brahms, Beethoven, Schubert and Vaughan Williams’s On Wenlock Edge – given by his musical friends. The surplus from this concert will go to Future Talent, a charity working with musically gifted young people who do not have the financial means or the opportunity to advance.
6pm Tickets £25, £17.50 Under 27s half price Box Office: 01728 687110
