We are very sorry to announce that the Ensemble Molière has had to cancel their concert due to a medical emergency. We hope to be able to reschedule a performance of their wonderful programme in our next season.

We are very fortunate to be able to host The London Handel Players,  a world class ensemble bringing together leading period-instrument specialists in the field of baroque chamber music.

For over twenty years, since making their debut at Handel’s parish church, St. George’s Hanover Square, as part of the London Handel Festival in 2000, the London Handel Players have thrilled audiences across the world with their performances and recordings. They appear regularly at Wigmore Hall and at many of the leading festivals in the UK, Europe and North America, performing baroque chamber music and concertos and collaborating with the world’s greatest singers.
