Bell House is launching a live music Sunday afternoon concert series. It will showcase talented young professional musicians, with programmes spanning classical repertoire, contemporary music, folk traditions, unusual instruments and festive arrangements. The series offers local residents the chance to enjoy high-quality live music close to home, in a relaxed and welcoming setting. No specialist knowledge is required: you can simply come along, listen and discover something new.
The main room at Bell House seats approximately 50 people, an ideal scale for duos, trios, and small ensembles. Its Georgian proportions, high ceilings, and natural light create natural warmth and acoustic clarity that larger venues simply cannot replicate.
The musicians were selected through an open call, attracting applications from a wide range of performers. For those building professional careers, regular opportunities to perform are invaluable, helping musicians gain experience, confidence and, crucially, an audience.
The concerts are from 4pm-5.30pm, the performers are listed below. Tickets are £22.60. For more details and to book click here: https://www.bellhouse.co.uk/music

The six concerts have been chosen to offer plenty of variety:
11 October: Holtág Quartet
An afternoon of British chamber music spanning more than two centuries, exploring rarely heard works and the diversity of British musical voices. Formed in 2025, this young quartet has already performed at Wigmore Hall and appeared on BBC Radio 3's In Tune.
1 November: Chloe, harp
A solo harp recital exploring flight, infinity and mortality, moving between the intimate and the immense, from the music of Rameau and Liszt to contemporary soundscapes.
22 November: Emilija, kanklės
An introduction to the distinctive kanklės, the national instrument of Lithuania. Emilija has played it for 16 years and combines classical, contemporary and folk music while bringing Lithuanian musical traditions to new audiences.
13 December: Levanto Ensemble
Flute, clarinet and bassoon explore the influences behind woodwind chamber music, from Beethoven and Balkan folk traditions to the jazz-inspired music of Eugène Bozza.
20 December: Denis Patrickson, saxophone and piano
A festive programme combining classical music with traditional Christmas favourites, including Denis's own jazzy arrangements. The saxophone may not be the instrument we usually associate with Christmas, but its unexpected sound brings a fresh energy to familiar music.
