Amust4music together with the Born Free Foundation are proud to present the first major classical spectacular at the picturesque Catton Estate in Walton-upon-Trent, South Derbyshire.

In support of the charity Born Free, this concert will generate much needed funds for the provision of several off-road vehicles and motorbikes for use in the wild.

So, why not make an afternoon/evening of it? Entertainment starts at 4.00pm with the concert itself at 7.00pm.You can bring a picnic with you (unfortunately barbecue fires, flares, awnings are not permitted for safety reasons), or alternatively refreshments will be provided.
