Bedford Sinfonia, Oxford and Cambridge College Choirs.
Tuesday Lunchtime Concerts
Lunchtime Concerts are held every Tuesday at 1:10pm during academic
terms and they last approximately 50 minutes.
St Paul's has a commitment to discovering, nurturing and promoting new
musical talent. For many years the Lunchtime Concert Series has given
opportunities to young student musicians to perform in a professional
environment.
Our musicians are students who are studying at the Royal Academy of
Music, the Royal College of Music, and Trinity Laban. Occasionally there is an organ recital. Local musicians
also feature in the concerts.
The series of concerts features many of the best young pianists and
instrumentalists in the UK. All have won major awards, including the
International Liszt Competition, The Chopin Competition and Royal
Academy and Royal College Inter-collegiate Competitions. These talented
musicians are on the cusp of a professional career. (see
Facebook (St Pauls Bedford Lunchtime Concert Series)) for
details of past and present musicians.
St. Paul's is the perfect venue for recitals, with a superb Bluthner
piano and fine acoustics. The church is situated in the centre of the
town and is only 10 minutes from Bedford Station. East Midlands trains
from St. Pancras take only 35mins. The X5 Stagecoach bus service runs
from Oxford to Bedford and Cambridge to Bedford.
The concerts are FREE with a voluntary donation. The church cafe is open
from midday. If you are a student musician, who would like to give a
recital please email me

I look forward to welcoming you to these concerts.
