Tondo Duo – 7:30pm
The Tondo Duo comprises saxophonist Sophia Elger and guitarist Declan Hickey. Passionate about new music, their repertoire largely consists of works by living composers, including Pat Metheny, Ciarán Farrell, and Greg Caffrey. They recently commissioned a new work, Conundrum by Jack Gionis, and are excited to give its world premiere in February at St John’s Smith Square in their themed programme ‘Classical Rebellion’. Later in the year, the duo will be performing in the Elgar Room at the Royal Albert Hall and at the 1901 Arts Club.
Classical Rebellion is a program filled with electricity, vitality, and spirit. This theme refers to classically trained composers influenced by jazz and folk. We have been developing this theme over the last few months and are looking forward to sharing music by Greg Caffrey, Ciarán Farrell, Jack Gionis, and more!

Upcoming Events
Duruflé Requiem – Twickenham Choral – 7pm
Join Twickenham Choral for a moving performance of Maurice Duruflé's Requiem in the beautiful surroundings of Holy Trinity Sloane Square. Composed in 1947, this deeply spiritual work blends Gregorian chant with rich harmonies to create an atmosphere of serenity and hope. Unlike more dramatic settings of the Requiem Mass, Duruflé's version offers a message of peace and consolation.
The concert also includes a performance of Rob Fenton's Ave Verum and music from cellist Oliver Simpson.
Twickenham Choral is conducted by Howard Ionascu. The choir will be joined by acclaimed soloists Cathy Bell mezzo soprano and Alexander Hopkins baritone, and accompanied by organist Andrew Lumsden.
Interstellar Plus – Roger Sayer – 7pm
Interstellar Organist Roger Sayer returns to Holy Trinity to play the original Hans Zimmer soundtrack, as well as music from other Sci-Fi films.
