By the Fireside at Christ Church Frome

Trio Paradis play a Café Concert on the first Thursday of each month (Feb-Dec) at 1.15pm at Christchurch: informal music events with a pop-up café from c12.45pm where you can meet friends over tea/coffee and home-made cakes and listen to live music.

December’s programme is a collection of seasonal music with a warming feel: some inspired by fire itself, alongside contrasting lullabies and other beautiful melodies to calm the spirits. Music by Vivaldi, Fauré, Vladimir Rebikov and others.

Concerts last c45mins and entrance - or rather, exit! - is by pay-what-you-feel donation. There's no need to book, although an RVSP on this website or a booking (£0) on www.ticketsource.co.uk/trio is appreciated. You might want to bring a cushion for the pew. Parking on Christchurch Street West or Weymouth Road.
