A close-up programme

The announced music includes Marais, Forqueray and Couperin.

These instruments offer a more intimate listening proposition than a large symphony orchestra: the interest lies in the conversation between lines as much as in a solo melody.

Sunday means GMT

The official start is 14:00 on Sunday 25 October 2026, after the clocks change.

Keep the London local time on the booking confirmation. The listing estimates approximately two hours; this is a ticketed performance, not a free foyer session.

Make one clear plan

Choose lunch before or a river walk afterwards rather than squeezing both around a tight arrival.

Check the organiser’s age guidance, seats and access information before paying. A published listing does not establish remaining ticket availability.
