Derby Melodic Moments – October 2026

Presenter | Caroline Welsh

Ensemble | Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, French Horn

Join us for a welcoming afternoon of live music, conversation and connection at this special Melodic Moments concert.

Created especially for people living with dementia, carers, and those with additional needs or life-limiting conditions, Melodic Moments offers a relaxed and supportive environment where everyone can enjoy music in whatever way feels right for them.

This October, our vibrant wind quintet takes centre stage, blending the distinctive voices of flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon in a programme full of warmth, colour and charm. From gentle melodies to playful musical conversations, each instrument adds its own personality to an afternoon designed to uplift, engage and inspire.

Guided by Caroline Welsh – whose warmth, humour and storytelling bring every moment to life – you’ll be invited to relax, reminisce and enjoy meaningful moments with those around you. Whether you’re attending with a loved one, reconnecting with familiar faces or joining us for the first time, you’ll find a genuine sense of welcome and belonging.

And when the final notes fade, the afternoon continues over tea and cake, offering the perfect chance to chat, meet the musicians, make new connections and enjoy time together.
