Florence Fest - Family Concert
Bring the whole family for a relaxed concert featuring live storytelling and beautiful music performed by a singer with harp, trumpet, and cello.
The little nightingale has flown the nest but doesn't seem able to sing. From dawn till dusk, it meets all the birds flying around St. Peter's, who try to teach it their songs. We will learn the songs of birds like the wren, robin, swift, and stock-dove so that you can try and hear them around the village and in your own garden throughout the year!
This event is perfect for babies and children up to age 11, and all family members are welcome. Please note that children must be accompanied by an adult throughout.
Performers: Eleanor Janes (soprano), Alex Knox (actor), Imogen Whitehead (trumpet), Abi Hyde-Smith (cello), Olivia Jageurs (harp)
All ticket sales and donations will support the Kent-based baby loss charity Abigail's Footsteps, providing bereavement care and support.
Florence Fest - Family Concert (Copy)
Did you know that some of the most important musicians of the twentieth century are buried at St Peter's? Composer Frederick Delius, founder of the London Philharmonic Orchestra Sir Thomas Beecham, and the cellist Beatrice Harrison can all be found in the churchyard.
This concert of classical music focusses on music by British composers Frederick Delius, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and their contemporaries. Internationally renowned tenor Mark Padmore will sing alongside opera star Marta Fontanals-Simmons, accompanied by harpist Olivia Jageurs. Other soloists include trumpeter Imogen Whitehead, cellist Abigail Hyde-Smith, and flautist Chloe Vincent.
The concert includes the first performance of songs by Robert Peate, inspired both by Delius and the bells of St Peter’s. We are grateful for the generous support of the Delius Trust.
All ticket sales and donations will benefit Kent-based baby loss charity Abigail's Footsteps, which provides bereavement care and support.

Britten Sinfonia
Tickets and more info: https://www.brittensinfonia.com/events/mozarts-mass-in-c-minor-at-westminster-cathedral
Mystery surrounds Mozart’s Great Mass in C minor. The reasons why Mozart never finished the Mass are unclear, but its quality is not in doubt: it’s one of his most ambitious, awe-inspiring and moving works.
The range is extraordinary. Towering choruses segue into moments of striking intimacy. The Bach Choir’s balance of power and precision makes them the perfect ensemble to perform this work alongside one of the world's most acclaimed chamber ensembles, Britten Sinfonia. The solo roles will be sung by Elizabeth Watts, Katherine Gregory, Sam Furness and James Platt.
This programme places the Mass alongside works that echo its influences. The overture to The Magic Flute opens the evening before two a cappella works from lifelong friends Clara Schumann and Brahms pave the way for the Mass.
Wimbledon International Music Festival: Jackson Flugelhorn Concerto
Programme:
Anna Clyne – Sound and Fury
Gabriel Jackson – Hargrove (London Premiere)
Mendelssohn – Symphony No. 3, ‘Scottish’
Sinfonia Smith Square (formerly Southbank Sinfonia)
Imogen Whitehead, flugelhorn
Charlotte Corderoy, conductor
Formerly known as Southbank Sinfonia, this trailblazing orchestra of young professionals found its new name after merging with St John’s Smith Square (now Smith Square Hall). They are joined by Imogen Whitehead, principal trumpet of the Britten Sinfonia and a fast-rising soloist, in a brand new concerto for flugelhorn – the trumpet’s mellower cousin – by Gabriel Jackson, dedicated to jazz legend Roy Hargrove. Conductor Charlotte Cordery was Critics’ Circle Conductor of the Year, 2025 and has recently worked with the LSO, Philharmonia, Opéra National de Lyon and Opera Holland Park. She directs the orchestra in a programme including Mendelssohn’s windswept and dramatic Scottish Symphony and the virtuosic orchestral showpiece Sound and Fury by Anna Clyne, described as a ‘composer of uncommon gifts and unusual methods’ by the New York Times.

A Christmas Miracle
A new opera by Master of The King’s Music Errollyn Wallen
A Christmas Miracle is a new opera for children, adults and professional artists by The Master of the King’s Music, Errollyn Wallen. It has been developed by Mahogany Opera, co-produced by Britten Pears Arts and supported by Jubilee Opera and Orkney Music and Culture. The world premiere performances will take place in Orford Church, where, in 1958, Britten’s visionary community opera Noye’s Fludde was premiered. A Christmas Miracle will then travel to Errollyn Wallen’s home of Orkney for performances in St. Magnus Cathedral.
Inspired by Britten’s unrealised plans for his intergenerational community opera of the Christmas Story (titled A Christmas Sequence), and using text from the Chester Mystery Plays, the new opera by Errollyn Wallen includes special settings of much-loved Christmas carols for everyone to sing along with. A Christmas Miracle is designed to be bespoke for each performance; the production will tour with a small professional cast (4 singers and 10 instrumentalists) and production team, which will work with a large community cast of around 80-100 participants of varying ages, backgrounds and skills in each location.
This new community opera is a compelling re-telling of the Christmas story for the 21st century. The work builds on the fundamental principles established by Britten in Noye’s Fludde, and responds to today’s approaches to co-creation, accessibility and sustainability. The story will run from the Annunciation and the Journey to Bethlehem, through to the Slaying of the Innocents and the Flight into Egypt. Wallen brings her rich and unique sound world to a dynamic retelling of the Christmas story which remains relevant with its universal themes of taking refuge, navigating the forces of jealousy and power, and the wonder of birth.
