Launched in 2002 by concert pianist and Weymouth resident Duncan Honeybourne, Weymouth Lunchtime Chamber Concerts presents high-quality chamber music in the heart of Weymouth and offers a platform for musical partnerships with friends and colleagues. The concerts also give young musicians, often recent graduates from conservatoire or university, valuable performing experience to a friendly, loyal audience.
Our programmes are varied and imaginative, mixing well-known works with lesser-known repertoire and composers, and all concerts take place in the attractive, welcoming surroundings of St Mary’s Church, Weymouth, where we are very fortunate to have use of an excellent Yamaha grand piano maintained by Weymouth Pianos.
Tickets can be booked in advance online and we also have facilities to accept contactless payments on the day of the concert.
We look forward to seeing you at our concerts!
