At Leatherhead's Lunchtime Concerts you will hear a wide range of student and professional musicians, some new, some returners, some regulars. Each concert season brings excellent performances of the familiar, along with some lovely rare finds.
Concerts are usually 35-50 minutes long, with a few lasting up to an hour. You will find an estimate of running time on each concert webpage. Concert Webpages show: • concert programme in full • performer biographies • recordings of music in the programme |
An RAM student comments: . . . currently in my first year of the Master of Music course at RAM. . . . I can safely say, on behalf of all of us here, performing in Leatherhead is a real privilege. The audience is both wonderfully welcoming and impressively intellectually engaged and it's very clear you organise every single concert with much enthusiasm and care. I gave close to thirty performances last year, and Leatherhead was very much among the highlights. A young German pianist wrote: . . . recommended to me by colleagues who studied with me at the Royal Academy of Music. It has been described as a welcoming stage for young emerging artists with a kind and appreciative audience. |

Music on Thursdays at LMC is an activity of the charity Leatherhead Concert & Arts Society. All our activities are run by volunteers, including the charity's Trustee Board Members.
Music on Thursdays began running lunchtime concerts in 2012 and has continued each year since. During the two COVID years we moved to making online selections of videos on a particular composer, instrument family, or other theme. Entry to our concerts is free and we hope you will want to contribute to help cover the costs. We pay all of our musicians over 18, we pay Performing Rights Society fees when relevant, and we make regular donations to the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. We are able to claim Gift Aid on your donation - at the concert or online. We also fund a project with the town's main primary school. We take professional musicians into the school to play their instruments and answer the pupils' questions. The primary school and the town's independent secondary school hold one annual lunchtime Music on Thursdays concert each year. MZ Duo - saxophone & accordion - were in Leatherhead for a Music at the Institute concert on 5 June 2026 so we took them along to Leatherhead Trinity School to play for the pupils there. They were their usual selves, which is to say a keen and interested audience. Listening attentively and asking good questions. |
