Recitals

FREE SATURDAY LUNCHTIME RECITALS

Are held at
Holy Trinity Church,
Market Gate
WA1 1XG
in the centre of Warrington. These recitals are usually arranged in groups of 4 to 6 weeks throughout the year and start at 12.30pm for approximately 45 minutes.

A new Grand Piano was purchased in 2009 through grants from The Coalfields Regeneration Trust and Grassroots..

WACIDOM started arranging free lunchtime recitals on a regular basis in 2000. That year there were 5 recitals, with 14 recitals the following year.

Currently it arranges approx. 25 recitals per year and has built up a regular audience of at least 40 and sometimes up to 80.

The recitals benefit the musicians by giving them a platform on which to perform and also the audience by providing a high quality product with easy access in the centre of Warrington.

The recitals are funded by donations received through retiring collections. To maintain them will require further funding. With that in mind, WACIDOM continually looks for sponsorship and grants to safeguard the recitals into the future.
