London Composers Forum returns to St Mary’s Parish Church

‘Musical Moments’ brings together new music by composers based in the capital and covers a range of accessible styles from traditional to contemporary.

The first concert on Friday 17 June features pieces for solo piano as well as piano duos with the flute, cello and saxophone. The programme includes an improvisation by Mark Pampel, who has built a notable reputation as a solo pianist despite being registered blind. Other works in the programme include a sonata for flute and piano, a grand concert rag for piano and a light-hearted, romantic Pas de Deux for cello and piano.

The concerts last an hour and are a great opportunity to wind down at the end of the week and prepare for the weekend with music that is fresh, stimulating, varied and free. Many of the composers will be present in person and there is the chance to meet and talk to them about their music.

St Mary’s Church has a wealth of history, dating back to the late 15th century. Adjoining the church is a café – the Putney Pantry – offering snacks, drinks, refreshments and light meals in a relaxed setting. Do come along for lunch or a coffee and stay on to enjoy an hour of music by some of London’s liveliest musicians and composers.
