St Marylebone Festival
Celebrating our local community and rich cultural heritage.
About the festival
Since 2016, St Marylebone Parish Church has hosted its annual festival, bringing together world-class music, thought-provoking talks, and inspiring performances.
Unlike in its early years, when the festival was concentrated in a single week in July, since 2023 the St Marylebone Festival has expanded to run throughout the year. This new format allows audiences to experience a vibrant series of concerts, lectures, and special events that showcase the rich cultural heritage of this remarkable part of London.
Our Director of Music
Bertie Baigent brings a distinctive energy to the Festival through his dual career as both conductor and composer. In June 2022, he won the Grand Prix, Classical Prize, and Symphonic Prize at the International Conducting Competition Rotterdam.
Alongside his role at St Marylebone, he has been Music Director of Waterperry Opera Festival since 2017 and currently serves as Assistant Conductor with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Opera Magazine has described him as “a force to be reckoned with.” Find out more below.
