Limelight aims to provide a friendly and accessible opportunity for classical musicians of all ages to give short performances, gaining priceless experience in performing and giving pleasure to listeners by sharing their music. It also aims to provide music-lovers with a fresh new format and an easy way to support grass roots classical music in South Cumbria.
