Art for Art's Sake at Leighton House

Kettner Concerts grew out of the long running Kettner Society, originally a group which met for monthly lunches with an invited speaker. Over a period of almost five decades, a huge range of topics have been explored. Continuing in this tradition, Kettner Concerts offer programmes that draw on the rich links of music with cultural, artistic, historical, and political subjects. We also strongly encourage performers to include contemporary music as well as compositions by lesser represented communities in their repertoire. The National Liberal Club is our home venue but we have recently been exploring other venues further afield: St Mary’s Church in Twickenham, the Holywell Music Room in Oxford and the International Anthony Burgess Foundation in Manchester.
