Purpose: Music in Felixstowe is a UK nonprofit organisation dedicated to promoting high-quality music events in Felixstowe, Suffolk. Its main objective is to bring top-class musicians to the area, providing a platform for professional standard performances that benefit the local community[2][3].

Activities

Music in Felixstowe organises a series of concerts throughout the year, showcasing a diverse range of musical genres. These events are held in various venues across Felixstowe and East Anglia, contributing to a strong rapport between performers and audience members, partly due to the unique character of each venue[1]. Additionally, it hosts a popular lunchtime concert series featuring young musicians from Suffolk[1].

Support and Partnerships

The organisation is supported by several local entities, including East Suffolk Enabling Communities, Felixstowe Town Council, the Lions Club of Felixstowe, Colourplan, and the Belacqua Trust. It also receives support from Grapevine Live, Ipswich Arts Association, and Spotlight Magazine[1].

Community Impact

While Music in Felixstowe primarily focuses on musical events, its activities contribute to the cultural enrichment of the community. It collaborates with local groups and venues to ensure a vibrant cultural scene in Felixstowe. Although it does not directly engage in fundraising like some other local groups, such as the Felixstowe Community Choir, it plays a significant role in enhancing the area's artistic offerings[4].
