You'll be welcomed into Shoreditch Treehouse (a hidden bohemian loft space in the heart of London, dazzling with thousands of fairy lights and a Steinway grand concert piano) and invited by DEBUT’s friendly team to grab a seat.
Doors open at 7:30PM, before the music starts, head to the bar to buy beer, bubbles, soft drinks and snacks from the Treehouse bar. Then grab a seat and relax whilst our resident pianist, Sam Peña, plays fun improvised tunes on the piano (plus requests) before the concert starts at 8PM. From there you'll be treated to performances from top-level musicians, alongside fun behind-the-scenes insights.
During the break, chat to the musicians, grab a selfie on the swing, or try our Steinway. It’s the perfect date night, way for lone rangers to meet new people, or excuse to bring together friends and family for a celebration.
