HATTORI FOUNDATION 2024-25 EARLY EVENING CONCERTS
|
Tickets are now available for the 2024-25 Early Evening Concert Series sponsored by The HATTORI FOUNDATION FOR MUSIC AND THE ARTS. The series has been running since 2008, and this year the series will again feature an exciting line-up of current Senior Award-winners and Finalists.
Guests are invited to enjoy a pre-concert drink included in the ticket price, and then join the performers and Trustees in the Club's bar after each recital for complimentary refreshments. '1901 Arts Club has cornered this corner of London, the balance so right, you can’t afford not to check it out. The Hattori Foundation tickets at £15 are worth every penny with or without the complimentary drink. Guests unlike me who did not have to ‘rush’ also enjoyed post-concert refreshments. No better start to anyone’s weekend.' What's on London. Details of the work of the Hattori Foundation can be found on their website.

2024-25 early evening concert series
How can one go beyond a "superlative"? Alexander Ullman's piano recital at the intimate 1901 Arts Club, Waterloo was a tour de force which cries out for a word which might fit the bill. The ambience of the venue was warm and extremely welcoming and a complimentary drink awaited each patron upon arrival. I almost felt I had been personally invited to share in the evening. |
This was an enchanting and artistically diverse concert involving a young cellist, Jamal Aliyev, who is unquestionably a talent to reckon with ... in the most delightful venue, the 1901 [Arts] Club, which is housed within a bewitching Victorian brownstone. The entire evening delivered not only first class entertainment in the most inviting environment but a complimentary drink and programme and a host from the Hattori Foundation who was - it must be said - charm personified. An excellent event all round. It is exactly this kind of thing which makes London such a special place to live and work in. One felt privileged just to be present. |
