About St George’s Unplugged
St George’s Unplugged is a new series of free lunch hour concerts at St George’s Cathedral every Tuesday and Thursday from January 14 through to the end of March 2025. Aimed both at the tourism sector as well as locals who work close by and pensioners looking for some contemplation – donations are welcome at the door as a fundraising drive for St Georges (and also to cover some running costs).
JAMES GRACE TO OPEN NEW LUNCH CONCERT SERIES AT ST GEORGE’S CATHEDRAL
St George’s Unplugged is a regular series of ‘walk-in’ lunch concerts for the summer season, offering a variety of classical music in an informal and friendly way. They are introduced by the musicians, and patrons are invited to sit, unwind, ‘unplug’ and contemplate through music in the iconic surroundings of St Georges Cathedral in the heart of the City.
The first concert takes place at 1.15 on Tuesday January 14, featuring award winning classical guitarist James Grace who will present a programme of works from Spain to South Africa – and has a few surprises up his sleeve.
Concerts are free of charge as the Cathedral remains an open space for all, but donations online and at the door are welcome to help cover running costs and also fundraise for the Cathedral’s much needed building repairs and maintenance. Facility for credit card and cash will be available.
All concerts are listed on Quicket where you can also reserve your attendance and make a donation in advance. The concert lined up for Thursday 16features Grant Brasler with an exploration of the famous Hill organ, which has a history dating back to 1675.
Experience the best upcoming and established artists at St George’s every Tuesday and Thursday at 1.15pm from January 14 to March 27, 2025.
