Experience a world of live music across the City's churches this Summer
Set in the heart of London’s historic Square Mile across five churches, Summer Music in City Churches hosts a world-class roster of artists taking a musical voyage ‘Around the World’.
From traditional song and jazz arrangements, to lush choral harmonies and orchestral favourites celebrating sounds of town and country, at home and abroad.
Guest artists are drawn from the finest musicians and collaborative partnerships: Rachel Nicholls and Michael Dussek, Lucy Parham with Juliet Stevenson, Mark Bebbington with Alistair McGowan, Iain Farrington’s jazz trio, Eleanor Grant and Gus McQuade. Lunchtime chamber music performed by Brother Tree Sound, Tier3 Trio, Cassatt Trio, and Sonas Quartet, plus two opportunities to hear City of London Choir led by Daniel Hyde.
Opening the festival, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conjure the Mediterranean warmth of Spain and Italy in works by Rossini, Ravel and Mendelssohn, joined by guitarist Jack Hancher as soloist in Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez.
