Mahan Esfahani live in London

Experience Mahan Esfahani live on February 11th

Mahan Esfahani will perform at LSO St Luke’s in London on February 11, 2027. Esfahani is a highly regarded Iranian-American harpsichordist known for championing both the standard baroque and contemporary repertoire for his instrument. His performances frequently incorporate newly commissioned works alongside pieces by composers such as Bach, Scarlatti, and Couperin, often exploring microtonal tunings and extended techniques not traditionally associated with the harpsichord. He aims to redefine the instrument's role in modern musical discourse.

LSO St Luke’s is a former church hall situated near the Barbican Centre, transformed into a performance space by the London Symphony Orchestra in 1995. Originally built as the parish hall for St Luke’s Church, Old Street, in 1875, it underwent significant restoration to create an intimate concert venue with exceptional acoustics. The building retains many of its original architectural features while functioning as a dedicated chamber music and recording space. It is notable for its flexible seating arrangements allowing for varied configurations to suit different ensembles and performances. The space also serves as a community resource offering educational programs and workshops.
