DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Summer in Suffolk with an evening of music in one of
  the county’s most picturesque settings. Bring a picnic to have before o
 r after in the church grounds. A bar will be open from 6pm and during the 
 interval. Brother Tree Sound String Quartet\, one of the country’s most 
 innovative and exciting chamber groups\, will play a programme of music ca
 lled ‘Live\, Love\, Laugh’ featuring quartets by Imogen Holst\, Beetho
 ven\, Mendelssohn\, and a surprise piece about Suffolk. You’ll have to c
 ome along to hear what that is!\n\nThe Musicians\nDescribed as 'vivid and 
 intense' (Arts Desk album review 2025) and playing with 'unfettered passio
 n and a sense of forward momentum' (BBC Music Magazine 2025) Brother Tree 
 Sound formed in 2017 out of a love for the powerful intimacy of the string
  quartet. The group’s members are deeply connected by a passion to explo
 re the great canon of the string quartet repertoire whilst staying tuned t
 o the continuous shifting landscape of today's classical music scene. With
  three albums generating over 10 million streams worldwide\, a recent sold
 -out debut at Kings Place London\, a grant from the Vaughan Williams Found
 ation\, and with numerous performances in music clubs\, on concert platfor
 ms\, at music festivals\, outdoor stages and folk music clubs\, the group 
 is blazing a trail\, inspiring audiences through their projects and perfor
 mances. As a reviewer of their King’s Place concerts wrote: ‘The playe
 rs were completely committed\, whether tapping their instruments\, playing
  harmonics or getting growls and whimpers out of their instruments […] a
  real tour de force.’\n\nIn 2025\, the group released an album of early 
 20th-century French quartets by Ravel\, Tailleferre\, Milhaud\, and Durey 
 with First Hand records. The album has received acclaim from both national
  and international critics who commented on the 'fine attentive performanc
 es' (MusicWeb International)\, while another described it as 'beautifully 
 integrated' (Australian Strings Association). Furthermore\, it gained 4 st
 ars review in BBC Music Magazine.\n\nhttps://www.brothertreesound.com/\n\n

 ast Sussex\, Somerset\, and Norfolk.\n\nMusic in Country Churches was set 
 up in 1989. The Charity is honoured to have His Majesty The King as its Pa

 heritage of countryside communities. It works with a range of ensembles an
 d musicians\, and is particularly keen to give concert opportunities to yo
 ung and emerging performers. \n\nFollowing each concert\, a donation is ma

 sential repairs. Since it began\, Music in Country Churches has made donat
 ions to more than 60 country churches\, distributing £620\,000 to support
  the maintenance work needed on church buildings
