LSO St Luke’s to shut for a year

LSO St Luke’s to shut for a year

I attended the former church last night for a concert by the ‘radical’ Manchester Collective, a string quartet playing works by contemporary British composers.

Nothing to frighten the horses, though I was much taken with a piece describing London at 3am, the work of Jocelyn Campbell, and another called Five Postcards by newly installed royal composer Erollyn Wallen.

What did alarm me was how dark and dangerous the churchyard felt at dusk, and how uncared for.

The LSO have slipped out a press release, letting it be known that LSO St Lukes is to shut for ‘transformation’. Reopening: Autumn 2025.

The post LSO St Luke’s to shut for a year appeared first on Slippedisc.
