Lunchtime Recital Series
A programme of free weekday lunchtime concerts at St Andrew's Holborn, a Grade I listed Christopher Wren church in the heart of the City of London.
Performances run for up to one hour and are open to all. No tickets, no booking — just come in off the street.
Perform in the heart of the City.
We are inviting students and recent conservatoire graduates to apply to perform in the series. Solo performers and small ensembles are both welcome. All instruments and singers.
Performers receive a weekday lunchtime slot of up to one hour in front of a live City audience, in a space with excellent natural acoustics and microphones available. There is no fee to perform.
