Free tickets for young people

Charity Cavatina has offered its support for this event. Their aim is 'to bring chamber music to young people and, and young people to chamber music'. They have pledged to cover the cost of up to 400 tickets, meaning children and young people aged 8 - 25 years old inclusive can attend completely free of charge. To book the free tickets, simply click on the link below to book tickets as per normal, and you will be asked questions about the patron’s age.

This is a fantastic opportunity for young people in Lewisham and wider London.
