Come and join Penge Chamber Choir and Selfolk (South East London Folk Orchestra) for an evening of folk inspired music in the fabulous acoustic of St John's Church Penge.
The first part of the evening will be a mixture of more traditional versions of folk songs sitting alongside choral arrangements, including some by Vaughan Williams and local composer Ben Byram-Wigfield.
The second part of the evening will see the church reconfigured to provide space for a lively ceilidh (with caller). So come along to be enchanted by beautiful music and don't forget to wear your dancing shoes!

As the nights draw in, come along for an evening of music and friendship to warm your soul. Our regular Open Monday night offers a stage to local musicians.
Come along to share a piece of music you've performed for years or something you are currently working on. There is always a supportive and friendly audience and we welcome performers of all ages and instruments.
Last month (October) we heard pieces by vocalists, guitarists, pianists, flautists and our resident organist, Alan Langridge. What will November hold?
If you don't want to perform, come along to listen to what is always a lovely evening of eclectic music from talented locals. Bring a drink and some nibbles, sit back, and enjoy!
