Lunchtime Music

Lunchtime Concerts are held every Thursday at 1.10pm and last 40-50 minutes. Everyone is welcome.  Entry is free, but a minimum donation of £5 per person is suggested to cover expenses.

St Matthew’s concerts have been a weekly feature of this church since 1975. There are some 45 concerts a year with short breaks at Christmas, Easter and in August. The programme ranges from early music, instrumental and chamber music, choirs and soloists to jazz. The music is performed to a high standard by professionals from home and abroad, students from the London conservatoires, schools and talented amateurs.

This page is updated regularly as details of forthcoming concerts become available.  For further information, please contact Chris Roulston at chrisr@stmatthews-redhill.org.uk.
