World class music in the heart of Crystal Palace
After 18 months of performing to reduced audiences during the pandemic, Crystal Palace’s resident orchestra, the London Mozart Players, is back with a bang, with an exciting six-concert series at the church of St John the Evangelist, SE19. Whether you are a life-long music lover, or you are only just discovering the joys of classical music, LMP has something for you. There’s simply nothing quite like the visceral pleasure of hearing music LIVE, so do come along and hear some of the world’s finest musicians perform right here in SE19!
LMP’s St John’s season includes the best in virtuoso performance as well as family-friendly events. From the best-loved repertoire of ‘Last Night of the Proms’ to the Latin infused rhythms of the tango, LMP’s SE19 season covers most tastes! Our hugely popular Christmas concert is certainly one not to miss, while in January, violin prodigy Leia Zhu will star in our community concert, performing – what else? Mozart! St John’s is the perfect setting for a biblical epic, so do come along to Britten’s Noye’s Fludde, where Noah, God and an unlikely cargo of animals will gather alongside musicians of all ages in our community spectacular! Finally, in June, the season ends with music and stories perfect for the youngest music lovers, and some chortles for the grown-ups too!
We have all missed the sheer joy of live music. Whether you are local to Crystal Palace or come from further afield, LMP looks forward to welcoming you to St John’s for six incredible concerts.
