Concert Series

At the heart of the Series is the chance for audiences to appreciate a more intimate concert experience. This includes the opportunity to meet the artists after the performance, breaking down the barrier between artist and audience.

Refreshments are always available for half an hour before each concert and during an interval.

Children are welcome at no charge

Local children can attend at no cost. The opportunity for young musicians to see at close hand prestigious musicians is invaluable, and the artists are an inspiration to young people’s musical development.

In February we had a concert with artists from the Young Classical Artists Trust. Three prize-winners of their competition, Jonathan Leibovitz, Ariel Lanyi and Maciej Kulakowski played a virtuosic concert of music by Beethoven, Fauré, and Brahms. This started our 20th season of concerts with music-making of the highest standard, in the tradition of the All Saints Concert Series.

In May we presented two artists from the National Opera Studio in Wandsworth, which is responsible for training the stars of the future. The Studio has a rigorous audition process, drawing a small group of young artists from all over the world and providing them with the best training in collaboration with practitioners from the opera world.

Last year we had a visit from Indira Grier and Daniel Lebhardt, playing Beethoven and Brahms cello and piano sonatas with immense authority and verve.

We then had a remarkable and moving evening with Roger Allam reciting The Waste Land with Angela Hewitt playing interludes on the piano; this was an occasion when one felt the touch of greatness in the poetry and the music. Our last concert of the year was an evening of Baroque and contemporary music by our own organist James Cryer and his friends that created the happiest atmosphere.
