This summer, DEBUTs five-star classical music experience arrives for the first time at the magnificent Queens House in Greenwich – a hidden gem of classical architecture, nestled between the River Thames and the Royal Observatory.

Founded in 2017, DEBUT brings live music to life through intimate concerts in unforgettable venues. Named the No. 1 Airbnb Music Experience worldwide in 2018, they’ve featured over 300 top-tier musicians across the UK and collaborated with iconic spaces like Cutty Sark, the Royal Opera House, Brunel Museum, and Shoreditch Treehouse – earning 400+ five-star reviews along the way.

Begin your evening with a relaxed drinks reception on the terrace, soaking in stunning views of the Thames, London skyline and the iconic Old Royal Naval College. As the sun begins to set, step inside the Queen's House for a beautifully intimate 60-minute hosted concert featuring a handpicked line-up of musicians in a specially curated programme with harpsichord, cello and voice. 

Perfect for a date night, a cultural evening with friends, or a solo moment of bliss, DEBUT at the Queens House promises an unforgettable night of music that moves you, stories that stay with you, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you feel like youve just discovered one of Londons best-kept secrets.

The concerts are part of DEBUT's 'Secret Concerts' series, which provide intimate performances in unique spaces. DEBUT will be performing on Thursday 19 June 2025 and Thursday 4 September 2025.

Please note that the sales for the concert in September will open on Friday 20 June 2025. 

"This is honestly the most fun I've ever had at a classical event. Top tier talent with incredible hosts in an intimate setting makes this one of the best nights out in London. The seamless mixture of humour and sacredness of the music through the programming is a rollercoaster of an evening."
