Melodic Moments July 2026

Melodic Moments is a relaxed series of afternoon concerts presented by Sinfonia Viva, designed to be welcoming, inclusive and accessible to everyone. These daytime performances are especially suited to people who may find evening concerts difficult to attend. Audiences are encouraged to come as they are, whether attending alone or with family members, children, parents, or friends. The series is particularly supportive of people living with dementia and those who care for them, offering a calm, friendly environment where shared musical experiences can flourish. Each concert features beautifully performed live music in an intimate, informal setting, giving space to pause, connect, and enjoy the joy of music together. Presented by Caroline Welsh, every event introduces a different ensemble and theme, ensuring there is always something fresh to discover. More than a concert, Melodic Moments is a warm gathering that celebrates togetherness, gentle connection, and meaningful moments. After the performance, everyone is invited to stay for tea and cake - a much‑loved tradition that encourages conversation and reflection - or to explore the Mansfield Museum with new and familiar faces. Tea and scones will be provided free of charge.
