Silver Strings

Strings for adults:

Always wanted to play a musical instrument? Come and try us out!

Silver Strings, Brighton & Hove’s very own later-starter community string band, has been running since 2013. So far we have introduced 250+ older people to playing stringed instruments, in a friendly and lighthearted group session.

We’re now in our 13th year! 

We offer free beginners’ and improvisation sessions once a month (see below), where we even provide the instruments. No experience of any kind is needed, just curiosity and listening. 

weekly: Silver Strings 

• play with others in our friendly group, with the focus on reading music, as well as developing musicianship skills
• Tuesday mornings at Brighthelm – booking essential
• cost: £14.50/session, payable upfront every two months
• Silver Strings also perform several times per year including at Sussex Prairie Garden, Jubilee Library, Royal Pavilion

monthly: a) beginners’ strings & b) strings-based improvisation

a) Completely new to playing, or returning after a long break? The beginners’ session is for you. We even provide the instruments to try! 9:30-10:25am

b) Improvisation using strings: group-based exploration of listening, sound, non-verbal communication, curiosity, and the present moment. 10:40-11:25am 

No experience is required for either of these sessions, and any adult is welcome. The session is free for over-50s as it’s funded by BHCC’s Third Sector Partnership (small donation for under-50s). NB: booking required.
