Concerts & Recitals

Part of our vision as ‘the Musicians’ Church’ is to be a place where “excellence in music is used to the glory of God.”  The primary focus of that is in using and enabling musical gifts in our worship, but we do also host regular concerts, with a variety of different outside groups taking part.

We are adding to our concert programme all the time, do check out our What’s On page for full details of the upcoming concerts and recitals or catch up with our previous concerts on our You Tube page.

Arrival of a Goble Harpsichord at Holy Sepulchre

Press Release: Summer 2022 

At Holy Sepulchre London, as the result of a new collaboration with Music-at-Hill Concert Society, we have recently come into possession of a single manual Goble Harpsichord, which now resides in the Musicians’ Chapel here at Holy Sepulchre. As the National Musicians’ Church, we are delighted to have this instrument available to expand the range of music we can offer in our services and concerts as well as increasing our hiring opportunities for musicians here in the City of London.

Stuart Whatton, Artistic Director, Music-at-Hill Concert Society, explains:

"By a stroke of good fortune, Music-at-Hill has benefited from a substantial legacy left to us by our late supporter Mrs Berthe Wallis, who resided in the Barbican and used to be a regular attender of our concerts in the days when we were still called St Anne's Music Society and operated out of St Anne & Agnes in Gresham Street.  We have decided to put the first tranche of her legacy money towards acquiring a harpsichord in order to support the Baroque programming for which our Society became renowned, including our annual Bach Festival each July.  Although our Society has now moved midtown to be based at St Giles-in-the-Fields, it is good to be able to honour our City of London roots by reaching this collaboration agreement with Holy Sepulchre, and to know that the Berthe Wallis Memorial Harpsichord has found a fitting home at the National Musicians' Church and is just a short Uber ride away when we need to borrow it back it for our own use!"

Peter Asprey, Director of Music, Holy Sepulchre, comments:

"I am delighted about the arrival of the Goble Harpsichord at Holy Sepulchre, and we are most grateful to Music-at-Hill Concert Society for suggesting this partnership which I believe offers exciting opportunities for music making, both here at the National Musicians' Church and in the City of London more widely.  I feel confident that this instrument will broaden the range of repertoire heard in this wonderful building, both in services and in concerts, and will do much to attract world-class musicians to join the musical and spiritual journey that we are undertaking."
