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.

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.
