Portsmouth Chamber Music Series returns to the Portsmouth Guildhall
Now in its sixteenth season, the Portsmouth Chamber Music Series brings world-class musicians to the city. In partnership with Music in the Round and the Guildhall Trust, we present the finest music in informal surroundings where you are never more than a few metres from the performers. The coming year marks the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, and so you will see most of the concerts include a nod in that direction. See below for the full list of dates and performance we have in the Guildhall.
A 20% discount is available to those who book the whole series.
