A classical concert bringing together the Victoria String Quartet and young Norwich musicians is scheduled for Tuesday 30 June at the Octagon Unitarian Chapel in Colegate.
The event runs from 6pm to 9pm and tickets cost £25, with ticket sales being donated to Norfolk and Waveney Mind. Hosted by Music in the Burnhams, it is aimed at the general public and readers looking for an evening concert in central Norwich with a local schools link.
The Visit Norwich event listing says the concert is part of Music in the Burnhams’ move to extend its programme into Norwich after staging classical performances in informal north-west Norfolk locations.

The setting places the concert in one of Norwich’s recognisable city-centre spaces, with the programme built around chamber music and school-linked performers rather than a large formal concert hall format.
For Music in the Burnhams, the Norwich date also broadens a schedule that began with a focus on bringing classical artists to wider audiences in north-west Norfolk. The charity was formed in 2021 and has previously staged concerts featuring established classical performers.
Victoria String Quartet joined by Norwich School musicians
The headline performers are the Victoria String Quartet, formed in 2017 and described in the source listing as one of the UK’s sought-after chamber ensembles. The quartet has performed at venues and festivals including the Buxton International Festival.
They will be joined in Norwich by the Almary Quartet, Norwich School’s own string quartet. The school group is made up of pupils Min Ting Deng, Min Ying Deng, Isaac Schaad and Tommy Cahir.
The evening will also include performances by former pupils Adam Possener on viola and Millie Clark on flute, alongside current pupil Melissa Hawkins on horn. All three have taken part in Norwich School’s Making Musicians initiative.
That gives the programme a mixed shape: an established professional chamber ensemble, a current school quartet, and individual performances from young musicians connected to the same school music pathway.
Ticket sales support Norfolk and Waveney Mind
The concert continues Music in the Burnhams’ support for Norfolk and Waveney Mind. According to the event information, the charity aims to raise £20,000 this year to support wellbeing projects for young people.
Ticket sales from the Norwich concert will be donated to Norfolk and Waveney Mind. The same source notes that Music in the Burnhams recently worked with Norwich School when the school’s choir was invited to sing at a Celebration of Sir Karl Jenkins concert in King’s Lynn, alongside the King’s Lynn Festival Chorus and the British Sinfonietta orchestra.
The June concert therefore follows an existing connection between the organiser and the school, while moving the charity’s concert activity into Norwich itself.
