What's on this week: classical music in London

Inside the clock tower of St. Pancras Station, where Ensemble x.y perform on Friday
It’s been quite the week since our update last Monday.
The next two instalments of our noisenights series launched on Tuesday, as we announced gigs with Abel Selaocoe in Dalston this December, as well as Harry Baker and Sheku Kanneh Mason in January.
We’ve been overwhelmed with the response. The events are crowdfunded in our signature style, and after less than a week on sale both are now over 50% funded. You can find out more about them and get involved here.
And as if that wasn’t exciting enough, the first night in a series of composer-curated events by the LSO kicked-off on Saturday. It was an incredible experience, and we couldn’t recommend the rest of the series more. Find out when the next one is here.
And, finally, if you’re looking for something a little bit sooner, here are our recommendations for live classical music this week:
