St Marylebone Festival
Celebrating our local community and rich cultural heritage.
About the festival
Since 2016, St Marylebone Parish Church has delivered a weeklong music festival. The St Marylebone Festival is dedicated to sharing the heritage of the area of St Marylebone, and there is a different theme each year, from our South American connections to Marylebone musical legends. Our Festivals has a bit of everything, from Opera to tango workshops. There is something for everyone!
Unlike previous years, where the festival has been held over a week in July, from 2023 St Marylebone Festival will take place over the course of the whole year. Through music, dance, drama, lectures and film, we will showcase the rich cultural heritage of this remarkable part of London.
Our Director of Music
Described as ‘a force to be reckoned with’ (Opera Magazine), Bertie Baigent's twin disciplines of conducting and composition give him a fresh, distinctive approach to creating and performing music. In June 2022, he won the Grand Prix, Classical Prize, and Symphonic Prize at the International Conducting Competition Rotterdam. He has also been Music Director of Waterperry Opera Festival since 2017, and is Assistant Conductor with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Find out more below.
