Kingfishers Enjoy Memorable BSO Cake Concert in Pilley

19 February 2025

Residents from Kingfishers and its sister home, Woodpeckers, had the pleasure of attending the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra (BSO) Cake Concert in Pilley.

This unique concert, designed for those living with dementia but open to everyone, provided an inviting and relaxed atmosphere to enjoy classical music.

The event was a resounding success, with attendees describing it as “wonderful,” “spectacular,” and “brilliant.” Residents, along with others from local care homes and the New Forest community, were treated to captivating chamber performances by talented musicians Owain, Eluned, and Kate, who performed throughout the morning.

The event was further complemented by delicious cakes, biscuits, and other sweet treats, beautifully presented with a touch of Valentine’s Day spirit. These refreshments were kindly provided by Colten Care’s Hotel Services team, adding to the festive and heartwarming atmosphere.

This concert marked the first of its kind in the New Forest, and we look forward to seeing the partnership between Colten Care and the BSO continue to flourish in the future.
