SUMMARY:Summer Music in City Churches – ‘Around the World’ – Concerts in the Square Mile
DESCRIPTION:A nine-day celebration of music in the City of London \nSet in the heart of London’s historic Square Mile\, Kestrel Music’s nine-day festival\, Summer Music in City Churches\, returns with a world-class roster of artists taking a musical voyage ‘Around the World’. Hosted across five atmospheric\, acoustically rich churches\, this year’s theme explores music inspired by cities\, landscapes and traditions. From traditional song and jazz arrangements\, to lush choral harmonies and orchestral favourites\, the programme celebrates sounds of town and country\, both at home and abroad. \nGuest artists are drawn from the finest musicians and collaborative partnerships performing internationally today\, including Rachel Nicholls and Michael Dussek\, Lucy Parham with Juliet Stevenson\, Mark Bebbington with Alistair McGowan\, and Iain Farrington’s jazz trio. Joining them will be multi-talented duo Eleanor Grant and Gus McQuade\, and young singers from Hackney Choral. A wealth of chamber music further enriches the programme\, with lunchtime performances by Brother Tree Sound\, Tier3 Trio\, Cassatt Trio\, and Sonas Quartet. \nOpening the festival\, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Gergely Madaras conjure the Mediterranean warmth of Spain and Italy in works by Rossini\, Ravel and Mendelssohn. They are joined by guitarist Jack Hancher\, 2022 Royal Overseas League Gold Medalist and EuroStrings Artist\, as soloist in Rodrigo’s evocative Concierto de Aranjuez. \nThere are opportunities to hear the City of London Choir led by Daniel Hyde on two contrasting occasions performances; as part of a Festival Choral Evensong in the grand tradition of British cathedrals\, and to celebrate traditional song rooted in the land – from George Shearing’s jazz settings to Elgar in Bavaria\, in the festival’s delightful finale\, ‘Islands and Highlands’. \nSummer Music in City Churches was founded in 2018\, presenting beautiful music to engage\, divert and inspire\, in ancient and architecturally stunning churches in London’s Square Mile. Standing cheek by jowl with City offices\, these churches are glorious settings in which to listen and reflect: oases of history\, beauty and peace amidst the 24-7 hurly-burly of City life. \nFurther information and how to book \nFull programme\, venues\, timings and ticket sales can be found on the website. \nTicket prices range from £15 to £35\, with half-price discounts available for students and those under 25. For those wishing to attend multiple events\, a festival season ticket provides excellent value at £120. \n(Photo of Royal Philharmonic Orchestra by Ben Wright)
