Continuo Connect — Saffron Hall

Saffron Hall brings exceptional musical performances to local and regional audiences. In just ten years, Saffron Hall has become a beacon of artistic excellence, community engagement and innovation, shaping the cultural landscape of Essex and the East of England. It has redefined what a regional arts centre can be and has touched, and sometimes transformed, many thousands of lives as the ripples of its work permeate across the region.

As the only concert hall in Essex, it has seen exceptional audience growth and last year welcomed over 54,000 audience members. Over the past decade, Saffron Hall has presented over 500 events with major international professional talent, selling nearly quarter of a million tickets. The Hall now boasts a world-class music programme that includes two Resident Orchestras – London Philharmonic Orchestra and Britten Sinfonia – and presents around 125 events a year, featuring artists such as Joyce DiDonato, Jess Gillam, Courtney Pine, Nicola Benedetti and Iestyn Davies. World-class baroque music performances are a regular fixture of the Saffron Hall season.
