Coco Tomita & Simon Callaghan

Our famous Lunchtime Concert series is carefully selected to bring a bit of peace, relaxation and escape in the middle of a busy week.

Disappear into an immersive sonic world created live for you by world-class musicians. Each week is something new and a bit different, no Lunchtime Concert is the same. Why not come down and try something new?

A Classic FM ‘Young Classical Star’ and Gramophone Magazine ‘One to Watch’, Coco Tomita plays with dazzling, characterful technique and rare musical intelligence. She has already played extensively on the international stage and recently completed a triumphant debut of her home country Japan, soloing with the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra.

We’re delighted to be able to offer free tickets to 8 – 25 year olds for this concert, via the CAVATINA scheme. The offer will be automatically applied at checkout when selecting an under-25 ticket. T&Cs apply.

Coco is delighted to be joining the Lies Askonas Fellowship (LAF) Programme provided by a professional team from Askonas Holt Limited.

The LAF provides personalised mentoring, career development and guidance to young emerging artists.

Lies Askonas, the remarkable entrepreneur after whom this fellowship is named, was a tireless advocate for young artists, and her philosophy remains embedded in the company today. By joining the LAF Programme, Askonas Holt will now act as Coco’s sole representative worldwide.

I’ve never been to a Lunchtime Concert before, will I enjoy it? If you listen to lo-fi beats YouTube videos or classical film score playlists at work to try and stave off the stress of deadlines, or chuck on Scala Radio or Classic FM when cooking, then Lunchtime Concerts are for you. A slice of relaxation in the middle of a busy Thursday will help you feel centred and calm, so you can totally lose it when you get to Friday night.
