Summer concert with the London Philharmonic Choir

Experience the sublime sound of the critically acclaimed London Philharmonic Choir as they serenade you with a programme inspired by the Museum's collection in the iconic Great Court of the British Museum.

The London Philharmonic Choir will use music and song to transport you from the banks of the Thames, through the fields of Tipperary, across the windswept Isle of Lewis, to an enchanted hill in Mold.

The evening will also feature the première of a specially commissioned piece by composer Paul Fincham, inspired by the Museum’s Celtic objects.

Working under conductors such as Pierre Boulez, Mark Elder, Daniele Gatti, Simon Rattle, Georg Solti and Franz Welser-Möst, the Choir has always met with critical acclaim. Widely regarded as one of the nation’s finest choirs, they perform regularly with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and other world-class orchestras at major venues and festivals throughout the year.

Your evening begins in the Egyptian Sculpture Gallery where you will enjoy drinks and refreshments. You will also have the opportunity to treat yourself or pick up the perfect gift in the luxury Grenville Room.

£24 for Members and their guests, including a complimentary drink. Members may purchase tickets for up to six guests. Age 16+.
