Charlotte Spruit live in London

Experience Charlotte Spruit live on October 26th

Charlotte Spruit, a Dutch composer and pianist, will perform at St John’s Smith Square in London on October 26, 2026. Spruit’s musical style is often described as neo-romantic, blending contemporary harmonic language with melodic sensibilities reminiscent of late 19th and early 20th-century composers. Her work frequently incorporates elements of improvisation and explores themes of nature, memory, and emotional landscapes. She is known for her evocative piano compositions and chamber works.

St John’s Smith Square holds a significant place in London's musical history. Originally built as a parish church in the early 18th century – consecrated in 1728 – it gained prominence as a concert venue in the mid-20th century. Recognizing its exceptional acoustics, musicians began utilizing the space for recordings and performances, particularly benefiting from its relatively dry acoustic which suits chamber music and vocal performances well. It became especially associated with Benjamin Britten, who championed the hall and premiered several works there. The building underwent extensive restoration in the 1990s to improve its facilities while preserving its historical character.
