London's beautiful private garden squares are always deserted. Why wouldn't you just open them to the public?!

Our new season: cross-genre collaborations, world premieres and Cathedrals of the East. We move through genres from bluegrass, jazz and electronics to folk and classical. Programmes rethink the concert experience, with immersive surround-sound concerts in the east’s Cathedrals.
