audience comments:

'Astounding! Great start to alt first night of the proms'

'Last night's @mwlth was stunning. Heroic performances by Aisha Orazbayeva, Mark Knoop & Roderick Chadwick of unfairly neglected music.' (Ben Harper)

'Wonderful space filled with wonderful music. A complete treat. I was introduced to an entire concert's worth of music that I had never encountered.'

'the series has become a central hub of a community that centers in london but overlaps with other near and distant localities, both in programming and in the visitors drawn to it.'

We are a collective of musicians and composers who, since 2005, have been creating a one-of-a-kind space where we welcome listeners to come together to share and celebrate new and neglected contemporary music. We hand-pick the programmes with the aim of sharing our fascination and enthusiasm with everyone. We provide a platform for creative & experimental work, for showcasing emerging talent, and for promoting learning and collaboration.

As a not-for-profit organisation, our ability to sustain this series depends solely on ticket sales, funding awards, and donations, with all of the proceeds going towards the musicians and composers. We strive to keep ticket prices affordable so that as many as possible can experience these exceptional events.

Please consider supporting Music We'd Like to Hear with a one-off or regular donation. Every contribution helps us to continue providing this space for inspiring music from our world-wide community.
