ERSO Unpacked – Exploring Beethoven’s 8th Symphony

The church-venue on the roundabout at Waterloo, rebuilt for the Festival of Britain in 1951, is committed to being here for you. Today we’re known as one of the most inclusive churches in London, champions of social justice and climate action. Through a year-round arts and culture programme, we run creative, community and therapeutic gardening projects for people with experiences of homelessness, isolation as well as local people in need. Our magnificent Grade II* building is also one of the best venues for hire on the South Bank.

St John's Waterloo

An introduction to one of the most enigmatic pieces by one of the world’s most celebrated composers.

St John’s Church, Waterloo

The Ernest Read Symphony Orchestra will unpack the twists and turns of this joyful but confusing piece! Find out why this short, energetic symphony is such a radical and forward-thinking work through musical examples played by the orchestra and commentary from conductor Christopher Stark. Open to all ages, this promises to be a lovely hour of music on its own, as well as an appetiser for the concert on Sunday June 20th June.
