St Martin’s Voices are pleased to announce a new series of concerts at The Conduit in Covent Garden, exploring themes of science, nature and justice. The programmes resonate with the iconic Conduit - a collaborative community of people committed to creating a just, prosperous and sustainable future.
Each concert includes a combination of choral music and readings. The performance is presented in two halves, and takes place in the bar area of The Conduit, giving you the chance to have a drink before, during or after the concert, or dinner at The Conduit’s staple rooftop restaurant, Rucola.
