Classical Cleveland
| ACTIVITIES | Classical Cleveland is organised by Peter Sotheran, who ran the highly successful Classics at Kirkleatham series for some 15 years. Peter normally presents two parallel series of 1.30pm lunch time recitals from October to June, excluding January and April, in Stokesley Methodist Church and at Tuned In! on Redcar sea-front. Stokesley concerts are on the first Thursday of each month and those at Redcar on the second Wednesday. Note however that the Redcar series is currently suspended until at least 2021. For the time being Classical Cleveland Concerts are being offered as Zoom meetings, commencing at 2.00pm and lasting about 45 minutes. Concerts will be broadcast from a hall at the RNCM in Manchester. Audience members are recommended to have an external sound system connected to their computer or iPad, or to have good quality headphones or ear-buds in order to get maximum enjoyment from the performances. Admission to online concerts is free and complimentary programme notes are provided online. Guests are invited to contribute towards the musicians' fees via a GoFundMe page or Bacs transfer.
