Concert update ✨ We’re thrilled that soprano Theano Papadaki () will now join Jocelyn Freeman, Filippo Turkheimer and Joe Zeitlin for our 23 May recital at St Matthew’s Elephant & Castle.

Theano Papadaki is a Cretan soprano praised for her “immaculate tone” and “seductively beautiful voice”. She is a Rising Star of Voice for the 2026 Edinburgh International Festival, and recently won Best Performance at the 2026 OffWestEnd Awards for her interpretation of Poppea with Hampstead Garden Opera in London.

The programme remains unchanged, and we can’t wait to share this beautiful evening of song with you, weaving together Persian melodies, German Lied, cello improvisation, and new music. If you’d like to buy tickets to see these fantastic artists, head to our bio for the link.

Thank you for supporting live music and emerging artists 💛

We are very lucky in our venue for our Sweet Harmony festival: the beautiful St Matthew’s Church SE1. SongEasel is proud to bring song concerts to the heart of South East London, and working with venues like this one makes it all possible.

Located just a short walk from Elephant & Castle underground station, St Matthew’s is easy to get to for those of you travelling from other parts of London (or further afield!). We can’t wait to welcome you there next week.

St Matthew’s is an English-Spanish bilingual parish that brings people together from different cultural backgrounds, united in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere bound together by music. Take a look at these words from recent audience members who so enjoyed visiting the parish. London’s newest Lieder venue has arrived!
