We’re saddened to hear of the passing of Tom Butler — long-time Friend and supporter of Blackheath Halls, who will be greatly missed for the passion and musical insight which shaped our classical recitals for over 20 years

Thrilled to be working with Martin Pickard to translate the libretto for our community opera this year. Never an easy job to ensure that modern day audiences can relate to the story as well as musical interpretation. We are fortunate to have so much expertise on board! @ailishtynan.bsky.social

As luck would have it the rain held off for our orchestra's Midsummer Music a few weeks ago🌞

Wonderful to see so many people enjoying a 'picnic and a performance' on a lovely summer evening #communityvenue #communityorchestra #summermusic

We're all very excited that it's Opera Gala Night time again on Sunday🎶 ⭐

Excited that Grant Saw Solicitors LLP and Cinnamon Care Collection (Rectory Court/Leah Lodge) are the co-sponsors for our Opera Gala Night fundraising event on Sun 4 May ⭐ 👏helping us raise money to stage for our Blackheath Halls 2025 community opera; this year Gluck's 'Iphigenia in Tauris'

Amazing music- making from all the young people who came to our first ever Young Musicians Day on 1st Feb.

Thanks to money raised from our #BigGive24 Christmas Challenge we were able to offer a variety of workshops to children who aren't easily able to access musical opportunities.
