BBC Radio 3 Concerts
Chamber music recitals based on a theme or style, at LSO St Luke’s.
The charm of chamber music finds its ideal home in the Jerwood Hall.
Be it a spirited string quartet, a soaring violin perfectly paired with a piano, or the lilting sounds of a song recital, lunchtime concerts have been a staple at LSO St Luke’s for twenty years. During this time, we have welcomed a top calibre selection of soloists and ensembles to perform in the Hall’s world-class acoustics.
