Classical music in London in June and July

Hi. I'm a classical music buff and will be in London in late June and
in early July. Could anyone please e-mail me (at ) to
tell me where on the Web I can find listings of classical music events
in and around London? Thanks for replying.

Look for the TimeOut publication when you are in London. No doubt there's a
web site also.
There are lots of concerts held in churches.

Unfortunately, it looks like you'll be here too early for the proms, but
just in case:

I guess ticket master is another place to look:

google st martins in the fields (near Trafalgar Square) also
Kenwood Crystal Palace (all with "concerts"). also try "english
heritage"
Google waitrose concerts (upmarket spermarket that sponsors such
things) and you see a number of good leads (including the
sponsored links on the right). Many of the open air concerts
finish with fireworks, although Kenwood seem to have less and
less each year (you take a picnic to Kenwood, either book a
deckchair or sit on the grass, no chairs allowed, food, posh as
you can manage!)
Waitrose do hampers when they sponser a concert if you want, they
seem to be doing Hampton Court this year.

That's summer and performances seem to be more limited.

You might try posting your request to rec.music.classical - there are a
great many Londoners (and assorted other British nationals) who post
there.

Besides the Web, when you get to London, stop in at the City of London
Tourist Info Center across Cannon St from St. Paul's Cathedral. They have
brochures -- or, rather, BROshas :-) -- with complete weekly listings of
lunchtime concerts/recitals in the City churches. Try to get to a few of
them.
They are free, although a contribution is welcome. You never know who you
will see, especially if it is during the City Music Festival, which is
held from time to time. A few years ago my wife and I caught a lunchtime
concert at St Bride's with the Consort of Musicke (Evelyn Tubb, et al.).
That "name" concert had an admission price, but it wasn't very much - a
couple of pounds. Also, the choirs at St Paul's Cathedral, Westminster
Abbey, and even smaller churches such as St. Peter ad Vincula at the
Tower, are sublime.
