Loki Music

Here are some of the people, venues and organisations who have worked with Loki Music during the last few years

The Trust manages this beautiful riverside building, surrounded by gardens. It is the principal venue for Loki Music during the Spring and Summer months.

A local independent school with a good reputation for the Arts, this school owns The Lovekyn Chapel - our principal venue for events in the Winter.

Kingston Arts connects people active in the Arts in Kingston and helps to manage, fund and contribute to local festivals such as the Kingston Festival of the Voice, International Youth Arts Festival as well as smaller events. Loki Music has contributed several times to the FoV and IYAF.

All Saints' contains some elements of Medieval stonework and is thought by some to have been involved in the crowning of Saxon kings. It has always been a centre for music in the town - both sacred and secular. It has recently hosted The London Abel Quartet and The Lovekyn Medieval Consort.

Surrounded by extensive riverside gardens, this beautiful 18th.-century house is currently undergoing restoration, but has started hosting concerts by Loki Music this year, hosting both The London Abel Quartet and The Lovekyn Consort.

Recently restored to its original design [by Turner], the artist's residence illustrates the interior and exterior environment in which Turner worked while living in Twickenham. This charming residence will soon host its first concert, to be given by The Turner Consort [voice, flute and guitar].

This was built by the 18th.-century writer, diarist, aesthete and gossip-monger Horace Walpole in faux-Medieval style within sight of the Thames as a country retreat.

This 17th.-century house is surrounded by colourful gardens and and hosts regular artistic activities. It has hosted various ensembles provided through Loki Music including Princes in the Tower and The Lovekyn Consort.

This rural building - near Halesworth in East Suffolk - has become the principal venue in East Anglia for Loki Music's Summer season. With no heating and lighting, the wooden furnishings and large windows provide a resonant acoustic for sound and speech which played an important part in Suffolk's history.

An anarchic trio of minstrels playing for parties and festivals...and providing Tudor music workshops in schools

For anyone able to sing a vocal line within a section, this is always a fun event for amateur singers who come together for glorious music, with a drink to hand. This now happens in Kingston - in the Canbury Arms pub - every now and again, as well as in the usual venues near Waterloo station.
