Postponed from 2021, the Greater London performance will take place at the Church of St John the Divine in Kennington. Libby spends two days here, playing the ’48’ across multiple performances, as well as interracting with young musicians as part of the church’s brilliant music scheme.

If you wish to hear the whole 48, you’ll have to come to all four performances, which you are more than welcome to do! It’s a remarkable experience hearing the whole set in the space of a couple of days: it’s wonderfully rich, profound, beautiful, varied and philosophical music. But equally it would be lovely to see you at any one of the above sessions, and each will make sense individually!

SJDK is a beautiful building with a wonderful piano, and is also home to a fantastically inspiring choral programme that does incredible work with the young people of the area (the timings of the informal performances have been chosen to encourage them to drop in after their rehearsal). So it feels a special place to be giving this London performance!
