While this concert series is not technically free - with your £2 ticket you also get a free glass of wine, so it might as well be!
Dubbed the ‘rush hour concert’, these early evening one-hour concerts at St John's Waterloo church (opposite Waterloo Station), encourage South Bank commuters to pause, skip the rush and sit back and enjoy some beautiful music.
The concerts are performed by Sinfonia Smith Square’s emerging professional musicians, who present their own unique take on classical masterpieces.
WED 14 MAY AT 6PM | Rush Hour #5 Transformation
May's programme is inspired by artists who take one work and transform it into another. The programme features John McCabe's Six Minute Symphony, Luciano Berio's Folksongs and Maurice Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin.
WED 11 JUNE AT 6PM | Rush Hour #6 Radiance
Between the restless 7th Symphony and beloved 9th sits Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8, a work of sunny exuberance filled with Bohemian folk melodies, heartfelt nostalgia, trumpet fanfares, musical thunderstorms, and birdsong.
