Join DEBUT for an unforgettable evening - not one, but two concerts at the magnificent Queen’s House in Greenwich – a hidden gem of classical architecture, nestled between the River Thames and the Royal Observatory.

Join us on August 7th for small room session #4! 
We are delighted to be hosting a packed small room session with recorder ensemble Follia 4, sonic landscape exploration group The Aris Solomon Ensemble, and sound artist J Roller.

Follia 4 is a new recorder ensemble who made their recent performance debut at the SRP Early Music Shop Recorder Festival 2025. Formed by members of London’s tightly knit recorder scene, with specialities ranging from historical performance to pop music, they look to be a fresh voice in the UK’s woefully sparse landscape of recorder-focused music.

One of London’s best kept secrets, DEBUT at Brunel Museum offers magnetic performances, time to chat to your favourite musicians and the chance to discover Brunel Museum’s historic Grade II* listed Thames Tunnel Shaft.

Launched in 2017, DEBUT have hosted over 100 sold out shows, showcasing 200+ top level musicians through our intimate and fun Secret Concerts.

Crowned as Airbnb’s No.1 Music Experience and with 400 ★★★★★ reviews, it's an experience unlike any other.

This biennial award celebrates the rare artistic achievement in solo and ensemble repertoire of composers for the lute and guitar during the two golden ages of Elizabethan music. Today’s recital showcases the outstanding performers selected to receive the award in a captivating programme of music, which focuses on the creative powers of both composer and interpreter in exploring the forms and spaces where the old and new intersect.

An evening of music exploring the theme of the night and all its interpretations. Otto Hashmi performs solo recorders from sopranino to contrabass and eCorder, as well as performances alongside Londinium Consort and Rothko Collective.

Featuring Anna Meredith's 'Origami Songs', alongside music by Colin Stetson, These New Puritans, and more. Further info TBC.
