We are pleased to have had the opportunity to collaborate with Charlton House in streaming free lunchtime recitals online during the lockdown in July-August. These six concerts featured the original line-up of pianists and sonatas.* Their performances were pre-recorded professionally in the beautiful historic Charlton House site, and broadcast without editing.
We are extremely grateful to our artists, as well as the staff and technicians at Charlton House and the Royal Greenwich Heritage Trust, for making it possible for our Society to continue this concert series in this special year of Beethoven’s 250th.
