Bach to Bed
Bach to Bed is designed for people who, as a result of a long lasting or terminal illness and limited freedom of movement, wish to have a live music performance at their bedside. This can be at home, in a care home or hospital room.
By playing live music, we bring a moment of distraction, enlightenment and peace.
Visit take up to 2 hours depending on the wish of our listener.
The program can be tailored to suit whatever our audience would like. Special requested or favourite pieces of music are very welcome. The performance can involve a conversation about the music we play.

Price: £ 200 per visit
