Presenter | Caroline Welsh

Join us for Melodic Moments at Derby’s Museum of Making—a warm and welcoming afternoon performance by Sinfonia Viva.

Melodic Moments is more than just a concert; it’s a joyful gathering where you can connect with others, share smiles, and create special memories. Presented in an informal and engaging way, these concerts are designed to be accessible for people who may find a formal concert setting challenging. These performances will be particularly appropriate for people living with dementia and their carers.

After the performance, enjoy tea and cake (included in the ticket price) with new and old friends alike or explore the Museum of Making on a self-guided tour.

The concert is presented by Caroline Welsh, and is perfect for everyone, especially for those living with dementia and their carers, or people with additional needs.

We look forward to welcoming you to an afternoon filled with beautiful music and shared moments.

Tickets | £9.50 each, up to 1 carer may attend for free with each full price ticket
