Concerts
 
Can you recommend any places that offer free classical music concerts?

I can tell you about the Proms .
Promenade Concerts at
Royal Albert Hall until mid September. Check
www.bbc.co.uk/proms
They have cheap tickets (if you like to stand) sold before the concert begins.

St Martins in the Fields are not free but they have really inexpensive tickets for evening concerts. By candlelight.

Several churches in London have lunch-hour concerts and ask for a small donation. I think Time Out lists the concerts for each week.

In London during August St Lawrence Jewry, near the Guildhall, nearest tube St Paul?s, has free lunchtime recitals.
From early September there are free lunchtime and evening concerts and recitals in various city churches. Time Out omits some, but there is a full list, free, at the City information kiosk just south of St Pauls. There are also free lunchtime recitals at Southwark Cathedral near London Bridge tube, St John?s Wsterloo, St Martin in the Fields on Trafalgar Square and at St James Piccadilly. Also, recitals at six in the lobbies of the National Theatre, Royal Festival Hall, and Barbican Centre.
From 1 October the university is in term, and the Events lists on web pages of Goldsmiths College, Kings College and the London School of Economics will tell you of free recitals. The web pages of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Royal Academy of Music and Royal College of Music will tell you of their free recitals and orchestral concerts. For classical music of Asian cultures you can read the Events pages of the School of Oriental and African Studies, beside Russell Square.

Here is your other thread on the same subject. FYI - You can find your old threads by loggin into this site and then clicking on your username in the upper left corner....

Also, in future, please use a more descriptive title which includes the city and/or country name, such as "Free classical music concerts in London?" Thanks.
