YCAT Wigmore Hall Lunchtime Concerts Autumn 2024

Presenting our 40th Anniversary Season of YCAT Wigmore Lunchtime Concerts!

A core part of our Artist Programme is the chance to perform a recital at London's prestigious Wigmore Hall. Small tours of the UK are also built around each recital, providing vital opportunities for artists to perform and bringing each artist's programme to a wider UK audience.

This season opens with the premiere of a work by Electra Perivolaris, written for YCAT Artists, the Atenea Quartet! Electra is the first recipient of our new Composer Fellowship, in memory in Hans Keller and supported by the Cosman Keller Art and Music Trust.
