Four concerts into our new series at Brunel Museum and we are loving every minute! From the candlelit cabaret seating, to partnering with Midnight Apothecary serving delicious campfire cocktails on the roof and the new addition of Lò Việt serving homemade Vietnamese bánh mì (not to mention our amazing guest musicians and the Tunnel Shaft’s mind-blowing acoustic)... we’re in heaven!

This month we had photographer Marc Gascoisgne in catching the action, and the vibe of the night.

Horizon Artist Hannah Shilvock shares insights into an unexpected and unconventional music career. Hannah talks about the music that inspires her, what it’s like to create new music with the bass clarinet, and offers some lifestyle inspiration for London.

Shadow Opera in partnership with DEBUT is premiering a new opera by Tom Floyd and Sophie Goldrick based on the true story of a talented but mysterious Victoria Poet — Michael Field. Veritable Michael began life as a podcast during the lockdowns and tickets are now available for the live premiere in the atmospheric Brunel Museum, 7.30pm 14th August. Composer Tom Floyd gives us an insight into this exciting new show.

Horizon Artist Rieko Makita shares some ways she promotes wellbeing as a busy professional.

We caught up with composer Joe Lawrenson after our recent Shoreditch Secret Concert, and here he shares his recent album launch, and discusses influences and inspiration.

We caught up with Horizon Artist, soprano Isabelle Peters about meaningful connections and not giving up.

It’s summer in London, and this year we’re welcoming experience-hunters to London’s hidden, beautiful spaces.

Things can be hectic in the summer, so if you don’t fancy waking up at 6am to book those big-ticket events, why not look for something a little more exclusive?

Join us for DEBUT’s new monthly classical music experience south of the river at Brunel Museum’s historic Grade II* listed Thames Tunnel Shaft | The Brunels hosted the first underground concert party here in 1827 and we are continuing the tradition at this remarkable venue!

DEBUT at Brunel Museum offers awe-inspiring performances, time to chat to your favourite musicians and the chance to learn more about Brunel’s remarkable feat of engineering.

There’s always a certain level of excitement (and trepidation!!) launching a new series… Sat at the pub after the workshop, alongside many of the participants, we can’t be more excited for Know the Show’s development over the coming years! What makes it unique? - who better to answer that than everyone who came along…

This week as part of our Artist Development Programme, Horizon Project, we had two closed Masterclasses at Clapham Omnibus.

Why closed (with no-one else watching)? - So that both the artists and Gary and Jo could feel they could speak candidly, take more risks and allow themselves to be more vulnerable. Thanks to the great insights, tips and guidance from Gary and Jo, they were both really valuable and insightful sessions!

Following 125 applications and live auditions in London we were blown away by the artists who applied for the programme. We have been able to expand the programme, allocating opportunities on an artist by artist basis, tailoring it to individual needs. Each singer and instrumentalist has something unique to offer the classical music industry and we can’t wait to share their stories with you through training, performance and evergreen digital content.
