Lose yourself in the spellbinding world of Spirited Away as the cherished soundtrack of Hayao Miyazaki’s iconic Studio Ghibli anime is performed live by a chamber orchestra.
The enigmatic world of Spirited Away, Hayao Miyazaki’s Oscar-winning masterpiece, is one of the most beloved works in the history of animation. First released in 2001, this Studio Ghibli classic follows the story of Chihiro, a young girl who finds herself in a mysterious spirit world, encountering unforgettable characters and learning courage, resilience, and compassion along the way.
In the intimate surroundings of Kensington United Reformed Church, lit by a flicker of hundreds of candles, a small chamber orchestra will perform Joe Hisaishi’s iconic score — music that has become inseparable from the film’s magic. From the gentle wonder of One Summer’s Day to the wistful beauty of Reprise, each piece captures Miyazaki’s gift for blending the fantastical with the deeply human.
Hayao Miyazaki, co-founder of Studio Ghibli, is celebrated worldwide for his hand-drawn storytelling, rich imagination, and timeless themes. His works — from My Neighbour Totoro to Howl’s Moving Castle — have touched generations, but Spirited Away stands as a defining achievement: a dreamlike tale of transformation, friendship, and the enduring power of hope.
This is more than a concert — it’s a journey to a place where spirits whisper, trains glide across quiet waters, and memories linger in the air.

An intimate, candlelit choral explosion of fate, passion, and medieval poetry — in an atmospheric Kensington United Reformed Church in the heart of London. Feel the fire of fate and the pulse of human desire in this chamber performance of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana — brought to life under the direction of world-renowned conductor Ralph Allwood MBE DMus.
In this unique performance, the dramatic power of Orff’s music meets the artistry of the Allwood Choir — an elite ensemble of award-winning choral singers, each a member of some of the UK’s most distinguished vocal groups — alongside two exceptional soloists and piano and flicker of hundreds of candles.
This premiere offers a rare and intimate version of one of the most iconic works of the 20th century. A daring, visceral cantata based on 13th-century texts — part pagan, part sacred, part scandalous — Carmina Burana speaks to the eternal cycles of luck, lust, love, and loss.
Composed in 1935–36 and based on 24 poems from the medieval Codex Buranus, Orff’s explosive choral writing transformed these ancient verses into one of the most iconic works of the 20th century, opening with the thunderous O Fortuna, a hymn to the cruelty and unpredictability of fate.This concert follows the traditional three-part structure:1. Spring’s Awakening2. The Tavern3. The Court of LoveFramed by a dramatic prologue and epilogue that remind us, the wheel of fortune never stops turning.Newly adapted from original manuscripts and arranged specifically for this space, the programme offers a bold and emotionally charged experience that reveals the inner intensity of Orff’s vision.

A voice that defined a generation. A sound that cuts through silence. A woman who turned heartbreak into art.

In this chamber concert, we invite our guests to unite and create the mood of the evening together with musicians: soaring string arrangements reveal the architecture behind Adele’s songs and the voices from the people – expose its deep nature.
From the first piano note of Hello to the final pulse of Chasing Pavements, every melody is reborn in shimmering acoustics, along with a sincere choir of voices from the auditorium.
This concert is a sing-along format. In this chamber concert, audiences are invited not only to listen but to become part of the experience itself. Presented in a gentle sing-along format, guests are welcome to softly join in with selected melodies throughout the evening, creating a shared atmosphere between musicians and audience.

✨ Join us on September 5th at the Kensington United Reformed Church, where a chamber orchestra will perform immortal classics in an intimate atmosphere of a church setting, lit by a flicker of hundreds of candles!
Experience an unforgettable evening with the music of Antonio Vivaldi, whose timeless compositions continue to captivate audiences worldwide. The programme of the evening includes the iconic «Four Seasons,» a masterpiece that beautifully illustrates the changing seasons through vivid musical imagery.
Interesting Facts about Vivaldi’s «Four Seasons»:
Composed in 1723, «The Four Seasons» is one of Vivaldi’s most famous works and a prime example of programme music. Each concerto is associated with a sonnet, possibly written by Vivaldi himself, describing the scenes depicted in the music. Vivaldi ingeniously used musical techniques to mimic natural sounds, such as birds singing in spring and dogs barking in summer. The concertos were revolutionary for their time, showcasing Vivaldi’s innovative use of harmony and instrumental techniques.
Immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of Vivaldi’s music and witness a performance that promises to be both enchanting and inspiring. This is an event not to be missed!
