Roman River Music produces an annual festival along the idyllic Roman River Valley in coastal Essex, and runs a series of in-school music days in Colchester's most deprived areas.
I was quite simply blown away by everything my class achieved on Tuesday. It was a joy to watch and the whole school loved the performance.
'Many congratulations on a truly wonderful festival and thank you for bringing such superb entertainment to our doorstep. I thoroughly enjoyed every night and it was obvious that I was not the only one who felt that way.'
The festival is programmed by Artistic Director Orlando Jopling and invites top classical, jazz and folk musicians to give concerts in the fantastic acoustics of atmospheric and ancient churches.
Just to say thank you very much for a wonderful and beautifully organised festival weekend.
In between concerts, you can eat oysters on Mersea Island, visit Beth Chatto’s famous gardens, and explore our idyllic villages - click here for more ideas and where to stay.
You have set up a remarkable festival. It was the first time I have been to Abberton church or to its delightful site, or inside the one at East Mersea - a lovely, light-filled place.
Our venues are intimate. Popular performances regularly sell out, so we would encourage you to email us to join our mailing list.
A real treat - we both hope there will be many more.
The Roman River valley is close to Colchester in Essex and within two hours drive from London, UK.
The music was breathtaking .. a unique and enjoyable evening.
