One of the treats that can be enjoyed living in North West Essex is Saffron Hall. This concert hall was funded by a very generous gift from a benefactor and the hall has been built in the grounds of Saffron Walden County High School. It has world-class acoustics and has developed a diverse, high quality programme of concerts and events. It also provides an outstanding venue for school productions and concerts, together with other educational work.
This afternoon was a real treat with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra performing Haydn, Szymanowski and Dvorak – all conducted by Lahav Shani and with Nicola Benedetti performing in Szymanowski’s second Violin Concerto. A truly outstanding concert which deservedly had a full house.
If you get the opportunity to visit Saffron Hall for an event, make sure you seize it!
