London Piano Meetup Group 'Xmas party' 2026 performance event Friday 11th December. 6pm - until late!

**TICKETS AVAILABLE FROM WEDNESDAY 11th NOVEMBER at 9am** It's time to dig out those Christmas Jumpers! London Piano Meetup Group is celebrating its annual Christmas party. In order for as many pianists to play and as much Xmas merriment as possible, we have use of the 1901 Arts Club and its lovely Steinway C, as well as use of the bar upstairs for the evening. Canapes and two free drinks per person are also included in the price For this special event, we will divide performances into 3 x 45 hour slots - please choose which you want to play in by buying the appropriately labelled ticket. We'd suggest you aim to listen to one or two of the three 'concerts' in the salon downstairs, but also spend some time catching up with piano friends in the bar upstairs; it will be possible to move in and out of the salon to a certain degree in between performances, and drinks can be taken throughout the venue. There will be a cash bar available throughout to top up the drinks that come with your ticket. Time limit for performers: 6 minutes Performing slots available: 21 across the whole evening Doors open: 6pm (but will be open throughout the evening for those who can't make it for 6pm) The London Piano Meetup Group provides a friendly, supportive environment in which to air full pieces, parts of pieces, ‘works-in-progress’, improvisations, own compositions - anything piano related! Instrumentalists with piano accompaniment are also welcome - to arrange any ensembles or accompanists, please go to the group's facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/LondonPMG ) and post a message there. All standards of player (beginners to advanced) are most welcome, especially those who have not attended one of our events before. Nerves when playing in front of other people are normal, regardless of how advanced you are or how long you have been playing, and everyone appreciates the challenges of performing in front of others - there is absolutely no judgement or competitive aspect at LPMG events, only mutual support from fellow performers and audience members. Admission is through pre-bought tickets only, we do NOT sell tickets on the door; there are also no refunds on tickets. The ticketing link will close 24 hours before the event, so make sure you reserve your spot in time.
