Discover London’s most magical classical music nights.
DEBUT’s Secret Concerts are intimate, story-led evenings of live music held in extraordinary spaces — from candlelit lofts to tunnel shafts and royal palaces. With 500+ five-star reviews and a legacy as Airbnb’s No. 1 Music Experience, these unique events bring you closer to the music, and the musicians, than ever before.
We’re a grassroots, musician-led charity — created by musicians, for musicians and music lovers. Every concert helps us support the next generation of artists through performance, mentoring and community. Since 2017, we've hosted 120+ shows, welcomed 350+ exceptional performers, and built a loyal following for our warm, welcoming approach to classical music.
Most shows sell out quickly, so we recommend booking early to avoid missing out.
Each concert is different. Every one is unforgettable. Scroll down to explore upcoming dates and venues—or join our mailing list to be the first to hear when new tickets go live.
