What's on this week: classical music in London
We’re now just over a week away until our next noisenight, which features trailblazing classical guitarist Alexandra Whittingham and guest soloist Esther Abrami.
The two sets in London-based brewery Signature Brew’s Haggerston taproom are Alexandra’s last solo gigs of the year, as she closes a huge tour of Western Europe in London with us.
We can’t wait to welcome them both to what will be a really wholesome evening of music by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Catharina Josepha Pratten, Astor Piazzolla, and more. Details and tickets here.
