The PLG season strongly features brilliant PLG Young Artists from recent auditions, plus star concerts at Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall (October 28 and June 5). Three Roberto Gerhard 50th Anniversary events are presented at the Purcell Room at Queen Elizabeth Hall. More concerts are in Wigmore Hall, National Gallery in Trafalgar Square and Kings Place. In addition, the now famous list of 25 PLG free entry Lunchtime Concerts in St James’s Piccadilly, St Martin-in-the-Fields Trafalgar Square and St Margaret’s Westminster, next to Westminster Abbey, three of Central London’s magnificent churches, each with its own atmosphere and acoustic.
PLG Young Artists are also in the Music@Malling and West Meon Festivals and in Winchester Cathedral, the country’s oldest cathedral.
