Lunchtime Recital Series |
Thursdays and Saturdays | 13:05 | Free Entry
St Alfege Church presents free lunchtime recitals every Thursday and Saturday at 13:05.
We have a close and longstanding relationship with Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and many of these concerts are performed by students from the institution, particularly on Thursdays.
Our Saturday programmes tend to draw from a wider net, showcasing a variety of local, national, and international talent that encompasses many genres and disciplines.
The musical and artistic journey of this historic building spans many centuries; as The Heart of Greenwich, the St Alfege Church team is committed to being vibrant stewards of this ongoing story for artists and audiences alike. We welcome new ideas, feedback, and thoughts on how we might better serve the artistic needs of this community.
If you are interested in performing in this series, if you wish to propose a concert/event outside of this series, or if you are interested in engaging creatively with the church in any other way, we would be very happy to discuss your proposed performance/idea and the suitability of St Alfege Church as a venue with you.
Please contact Rhian Davies, our Concerts and Recitals Coordinator, for further information.
