music we'd like to hear

a concert series curated by composers

'For the happy few who have noticed it, Music We'd Like To Hear is already proving an oasis of thoughtful and idealistic music-making amongst the self-serving glamour-fests that generate the most noise on London's new music scene.'

support music we'd like to hear

We are a collective of musicians and composers who, since 2005, have been creating a one-of-a-kind space where we welcome listeners to come together to share and celebrate new and neglected contemporary music. We hand-pick the programmes with the aim of sharing our fascination and enthusiasm with everyone. We provide a platform for creative & experimental work, for showcasing emerging talent, and for promoting learning and collaboration.

As a not-for-profit organisation, our ability to sustain this series depends solely on ticket sales, funding awards, and donations, with all of the proceeds going towards the musicians and composers. We strive to keep ticket prices affordable so that as many as possible can experience these exceptional events.

Please consider supporting Music We'd Like to Hear with a one-off or regular donation. Every contribution helps us to continue providing this space for inspiring music from our world-wide community.
