Story

Event details

Come and see the Brighton Film Quartet, and lose yourself on a mesmerising journey of the senses. An unforgettable immersive experience. Beautiful cinematic flavours, set to a backdrop of a gorgeous and abstract film. Piano, cello, violin and clarinet. Compositions by quartet pianist Penny Loosemore.


What we are fundraising for 

We are raising money for the amazing Downs View Life Skills College. Our college opened in 2016 with just five learners and continues to grow with currently 38 learners.

Our students are 19 - 25 years old and have learning disabilities and complex needs. This is their ''equivalent'' time of going to university. We are a charity, and we would like to continue raising money to build a sensory room to benefit all of our learners. This room is essential in helping our students to regulate their mood so they can get the most of their college day; learning skills to become more independent and reach their potential. 

Venue: Holland Road Baptist Church. Holland Rd, Hove BN3 1JN

Date: Friday, February 24th, 2023 

Time: 7 - 9 pm 

7 pm doors open + cafe (hot drinks, soft drinks and goods made by our learners) 

8 - 9 pm concert
