Gig Caritas Presents
Classical Chills
BOOK TICKETS
DUDLEY TOWN HALL
Sunday 12 October 2025 - 3pm
Enter the haunting, majestic world of Tchaikovsky.
Gig CaritasĀ presents an afternoon concert steeped in drama, beauty, and emotional intensity.
At the heart of the programme are two towering works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky:
šĀ Swan Lake SuiteĀ - a shimmering, dreamlike sequence of dances, drawn from the composer's iconic ballet. Beneath the elegance lies a story of enchantment, longing, and transformation.
š„Ā Symphony No. 5Ā - one of Tchaikovsky's most powerful symphonic statements. From shadowy despair to blazing triumph, it is a journey of fate, resilience, and catharsis.
The concert opens with a lively overture by Nicolai - a brief spark before the emotional depth of the Tchaikovsky begins.
With maestroĀ Keith HorsfallĀ leading theĀ Gig Caritas Orchestra, expect an electrifying performance that blurs the line between theatre and concert hall.
Whether you're a lifelong lover of classical music or curious to experience its darker, more seductive side, Classical Chills offers a spellbinding escape just as the season turns.
Proceeds from this event will be donated to the Dudley Salvation Army Christmas Toy Appeal, which helps to spread the joy of Christmas to families whose children would otherwise not receive a gift.
Transforming Lives Through the Power of Music
Gig CaritasĀ is a dynamic non-profit arts organisation based in Stourbridge, founded in 2012 with a simple but powerful mission: to raise money for local charities through high-quality musical performances. Driven by the ethosĀ "Good Causes, Great Music", Gig Caritas brings together a diverse community of performers - many of them professional musicians or music educators - who all give their time and talent freely to support worthy local causes. These events are designed to entertain while also highlighting the incredible musical talent within the region.
We present a varied programme of concerts throughout the year, ranging from orchestral and classical events to big band, choral, and contemporary programmes, and smaller events in the community. Its core team, led by chair Keith Horsfall, works alongside a wide network of contributors to deliver events that not only entertain but make a real difference to the community. Whether you're attending a concert, performing on stage, or supporting behind the scenes, Gig Caritas is proof that when great music meets a good cause, something truly special happens.
