Candlelight Concert: The Lark Ascending

In the glow of candlelight, the violin takes flight, tracing the weightless path of a skylark drifting high above the golden fields. In this intimate light, we too take flight, carried by a sparkling selection of violin gems. Sit back, and enjoy the glow.

Description

In the glow of candlelight, the violin takes flight, tracing the weightless path of a skylark drifting high above the golden fields. Its song drifts freely, untethered, floating above the piano’s gentle murmurs—like warm air over rolling fields. Shadows flicker, time slows, and the world softens into stillness. In this intimate light, we too take flight, carried by a sparkling selection of violin gems. Sit back, and enjoy the glow.

St Mary Magdalen Church boasts a rich history dating back to William the Conqueror and is built on the site of Bermondsey Abbey. Situated on Bermondsey Street, plenty to see and enjoy before or after a Candlelight Concert, including a bevy of craft ale breweries, a gin house, eclectic cafes and eateries. The venue is also close to the Zandra Rhodes Fashion and Textile Museum and the cutting-edge White Cube Gallery. If you fancy a stroll down the river, take in the sights along the Thames, past the iconic HMS Belfast, through Hays Galleria, and then take a turn around the world-famous Borough Market.
