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.
