Hear live performances from small groups of LSO or Guildhall School musicians up close at LSO St Luke’s. Find out more with friendly introductions to guide you through the concert from our presenter Rachel Leach. And if you’re left with burning questions, you can ask them during each concert’s Q+A session.
Entry is free and you don’t need a ticket – just turn up on the day! Doors to the hall open at 12pm, and the music starts at 12.30pm. We work on a first-come, first-seated basis, so we recommend arriving in good time to avoid disappointment.
