Music for all Seasons

This unique nine-concert series has been inspired by composers from across Europe with a focus on chamber music. Our exciting new concert series invites young professional musicians to collaborate, perform, and explore a plethora of different repertoire, and art forms, together.

Throughout this nine-concert series, we encourage our audience to experience music in a different way, challenging the traditional concert setting and welcoming guests from the Academic, Dance, Acting, and Visual Arts worlds to experience traditional music in new and exciting ways.

It is with great pleasure that we introduce our first concert series which will take place monthly in the charming church on the iconic Abbey Road, an area home to  innovative musicians.
