About
The London Festival of Baroque Music is a week of creative brilliance – a Baroque world that erupts with sound and captivates the senses.
Since its founding in 1984, LFBM has celebrated the dynamism of Baroque music and its continued influence on today’s musical landscape. Set in Smith Square Hall, Westminster, a Baroque architectural masterpiece built in the 18th century, the festival will once again feature world-class performances of some of the most captivating music ever written.
Internationally acclaimed countertenor Iestyn Davies returns for the second year as Festival Artistic Adviser.
‘Our 2026 season, titled ‘Refractions’, invites you to experience the brilliance of the baroque era through a lens of transformation, coloured both by the passage of time and the unique perspectives of the performers themselves.’ - Iestyn Davies
