Kettner Concerts grew out of the long running Kettner Society, originally a group which met for monthly lunches with an invited speaker. Over a period of almost five decades, a huge range of topics have been explored. Continuing in this tradition, Kettner Concerts offer programmes that draw on the rich links of music with cultural, artistic, historical, and political subjects. We also strongly encourage performers to include contemporary music as well as compositions by lesser represented communities in their repertoire.

Our main objective as a charity is to promote young talents and offer them a springboard to interact with new audiences in Central London, while also drawing more members of the public to music with interesting and relevant programmes. We support our artists by building their following and offer the opportunity to perform on an extraordinary Steinway model D concert grand.

Kettner Concerts are delighted to be hosted by the National Liberal Club (NLC) in its David Lloyd George Room. Please note that we kindly ask members of the public to adhere to the dress code of the NLC (formal). For more information about the venue please visit the NLC website.

The National Liberal Club is our home venue but we have recently been exploring other venues further afield: St Mary’s Church in Twickenham, the Holywell Music Room in Oxford and the International Anthony Burgess Foundation in Manchester.
