BBC Radio 3 Concerts
Chamber music recitals based on a theme or style, at LSO St Luke’s.
The charm of chamber music finds its ideal home in the Jerwood Hall.
Be it a spirited string quartet, a soaring violin perfectly paired with a piano, or the lilting sounds of a song recital, lunchtime concerts have been a staple at LSO St Luke’s for twenty years. During this time, we have welcomed a top calibre selection of soloists and ensembles to perform in the Hall’s world-class acoustics.
Concert Broadcasts
Each concert lasts approximately one hour. If you can’t make it on the day, the concerts are recorded for future broadcast, and you can listen on BBC Radio 3 at a later date.

Other Lunchtime Concerts
We also hold regular Free Friday Lunchtime Concerts at LSO St Luke’s. These 45-minute concerts are suitable for everyone over the age of 5, and give a friendly, family-friendly introduction to the music, with introductions from presenter Rachel Leach.
