In addition to public concerts, My Lady's Chamber are available for any private function - weddings, (service and reception), formal dinners, Bar Mitzvah, private views, birthday parties, corporate or charity events - with My Lady's Chamber, your occasion will be very special.
We are committed to providing a musical atmosphere specific to your event and will endeavour to tailor style and repertoire as appropriate. In addition, if given sufficient notice, we are happy to consider any repertoire requests you may have. Most recent themed performances include From Purcell to Arne - The 18th Century London Stage for the Handel House Museum, and Horniman & Dolmetsch - Legend & Legacy for the Horniman Museum. In February 2009 we presented an evening of songs and sonatas from the English stage at the Lovekyn Chapel, London Road, Kingston-Upon-Thames, as part of Kingston Early Music Series. See Forthcoming Appearances for details of future performances.
