Classical concerts in London

If you’re a classical music fan, Classically Black at Kings Place should be on your radar. Brought to you by Black Lives in Music, an organisation set up to address racial inequality in the music industry, the full day event will celebrate the contributions of Black classical musicians past and present. The groundbreaking event will include talks, discussions, an emerging talent showcases, and performances by Simmy Singh, Sabi Ensemble, The Jollof House Party Opera, and Paulette Bayley. The day will also include panel discussion, 'Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves', interrogating the experiences of Black women in classical music today.

It wouldn’t be Christmas without John Rutter’s stint at the Royal Albert Hall. As well as a big ol' orchestra to get you feeling festive, there'll be two choirs on hand, singing all the classics, from 'Frosty The Snowman' to 'Away In A Manger'.
