CONCERT VISITS —
CLASSICAL & JAZZ
 Visits to classical
concerts, with the occasional foray into jazz and
world, in various London venues.Group Coordinator: Celia Ballantyne (click to contact) |
| When Our visits are on an ad hoc basis, depending on what's on. |
| Where London concert halls and churches. |
We go to a wide variety of concerts including
orchestral, choral, chamber, vocal, recital and big band.
Suggestions are always welcome. Concerts might be late
morning, lunchtime or evening and are in a variety of
venues. Wherever possible ticket prices are very reasonable
and chosen with the acoustics and sightlines of the venue in
mind. Some concerts are free.
The way it works is that the Group Coordinator
identifies a concert to visit, and notifies members on her
mailing list. Those expressing interest then receive all
relevant information, including guidance on which row to buy
tickets in, and then they buy their own tickets.
All iU3A members are entitled to be on the
mailing list to receive information and to join visits if
they wish. To join the mailing list, click here
