Chalice
We are taking bookings for our debut lunchtime concert at Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church:
Tuesday 24 November 2026 | 13:00
If the date or time you would like is sold out, add your name to the waitlist on Luma, and add your name to the mailing list to hear about future dates.
Chalice is our new musical project, blending spoken words with atmospheric music created in the moment, drawing the audience into a world of mystery, philosophy, folklore and transcendence. Every performance is different: you might hear texts drawn from medieval poetry, speculative philosophy, literature both high and low, ancient religion, or pieces written by Chalice members themselves, often cut up and juxtaposed to create a constellation of ideas. Listen to an excerpt.
