SUMMER MUSIC IN CITY CHURCHES
JUNE 2022: ENGLISH RHAPSODY
Summer Music in City Churches was a brand new festival in 2018, presenting beautiful music to inspire, divert and engage, in ancient and architecturally stunning churches in London's Square Mile.
Our theme this year will be ENGLISH RHAPSODY: a festival of evocative and glorious music marking the 150th anniversary of Vaughan Williams and the platinum jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II.
