Théotime Langlois de Swarte live in London

Experience Théotime Langlois de Swarte live on October 28th

Théotime Langlois de Swarte will perform at St John’s Smith Square in London on October 28, 2026. Langlois de Swarte is a French composer and violinist known for a musical style that blends contemporary classical composition with influences from traditional Breton music and improvisation. His work often features extended techniques for string instruments and explores themes of landscape, folklore, and the intersection of acoustic and electronic sounds. He frequently collaborates with musicians across genres, including jazz and traditional folk artists.

St John’s Smith Square holds a significant place in London’s musical landscape. Originally built as a parish church in the early 18th century (completed 1728) by Thomas Archer, it fell into disrepair during the mid-20th century. A substantial restoration project undertaken between 1951 and 1954, led by Stephen Dykes Bower, transformed the space into a renowned concert hall while preserving its architectural heritage. The hall is celebrated for its exceptional acoustics, making it particularly well-suited to chamber music, choral performances, and solo instrumental recitals.
