Enjoy socially distant, outdoor concerts in the St George's Gardens
Posted on: 27 Aug 2020Classical, folk and jazz music will be performed in St George's Gardens next month.
In recent weeks, St George's has hosted socially distant performances in its gardens.
It started with a pay-what-you-can performance from Bristol Ensemble, Bristol's professional chamber orchestra, followed by an evening with folk music group The Nest Collective.
If you haven't had a chance to visit St George's Gardens just yet, then you're in luck.
The concert hall has unveiled a further three outdoor performances, set to take place throughout September.

On Thursday 3 September, acclaimed acoustic multi-instrumental trio Three Cane Whale will perform at 18:00 and 20:00.
Taking direct inspiration from the British landscape, their album Holts and Hovers was recorded in 20 different places, including greenwood barns and remote stream-sides.
At St George's, the trio will perform tracks from their latest release, 303, and from their extensive back catalogue.
On Friday 4 September, an ensemble of Welsh National Opera musicians will perform classical works, including that of Mozart and Puccini.
The performance follows on from WNO Orchestra's sell-out 'A Journey to Vienna' concert in January.

The week after, on Thursday 10 September, Katya Gorrie Trio will perform.
Katya Gorrie is a singer, performer, writer and producer; her work explores a range of genres, from classical, to rock and jazz.
Gorrie is one of the producers of the Bristol Jazz and Blues Festival and has toured extensively.
At St George's, Gorrie will be joined by Matt Hopkins on guitar and Will Harris on Double Bass.
Performances will take place outdoors in the St George’s Gardens
To keep people staff, St George's asks that visitors wear face covering at all times inside the building, and use the hand sanitizer provided at each entrance.
The venue's toilets will be open, and the venue is operating a one-way, socially distanced queuing system.
In the garden, St George's has placed markers on the grass to aid social distancing.
Audiences can bring along their own picnics, blankets and camping chairs, and umbrellas and raincoats should there be drizzle forecast.
At each performance, St George's will serve bar drinks and a small selection of snacks. Tickets to each show cost £10 and can be purchased on the St George's website.
