Free Friday Lunchtime Recital: A Winter’s Journey - from Nocturne to Party

  • St Mary's Church Upper Street London, England, N1 United Kingdom (map)

Our eleventh Free Friday Lunchtime Recital of 2026 will take place on Friday 20 November.

Join Francis Bushell and Emma Howarth as they explore the diverse characteristics of the bassoon through a winter lens. It starts with the dark and brooding Romance by Elgar before exploring the vocal quality of the bassoon with songs by Schubert and Faure arranged by Francis. The concert concludes with repertoire that pushes the bassoon to its limits.

Have a look at Francis’s bio and Emma’s bio.


Come and be delighted by high quality classical performances in our beautiful church. The concerts will take place on the third Friday of every month at 1.15pm with free hot drinks and cake served from 12.45pm.

The concerts are free and you do not need a ticket.

The free Friday lunchtime recitals at St Mary's have been made possible by the legacy gift of Denise Antenen and generous donations from members of St Mary's congregation.
