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 a free Open Session, on the first Tuesday of each month (except August / December), for you to meet our friendly players and try a cello, viola, or violin as part of the group. No experience of any kind is needed, just curiosity and listening. We even provide the instruments!
