Live music cafe announces under 30s scheme

Clerkenwell’s classical music hub, the Fidelio Orchestra Cafe, has just announced an exciting 2021 season of chamber music - including a new scheme for under 30s.

The informal and intimate venue has become renowned for its innovate approach to concerts, with the experience including a three-course dinner courtesy of chef Alan Rosenthal.

The cafe adopts a three-tiered approach from January, with a few half-price under 30s tickets available to each event - that’s around £50 for a delicious three-course meal as well as prime seats to see some of the world’s best musicians up close.

There will also be a number of tickets available for just £10. These won’t include the food and will have restricted viewing, but guests will still be able to order drinks and enjoy the unique atmosphere.

We interviewed Fidelio Orchestra Cafe’s founder and artistic director, Raffaello Morales, about accessibility, finding new ways of communication, and more. Read about that chat here.

Fidelio Orchestra Cafe restarts events on 4 December. Find out what’s on this month here. The 2021 season can be found below.
