Come and Play Chamber Music
Come and play Chamber Music at my house on Saturday May 2nd;
Time as suits between 2:15pm and 9:30pm
Please include instruments and expected times in your response, and follow the below requested precautions when coming:
Attendance requirements:
Please do not come if you are unwell or if you know you were recently exposed to people with Covid or flu.
Suggested standard is AB grade7 or NVQ level5 to professional, but in the end the ability to play with others is more important than instrumental technique
I provide the following:
Up to six playing spaces for groups of up to 12, 8, 6, 6, 6 and 3, respectively.
One of the six-person playing-rooms has a carefully-chosen Steinway model B. Other rooms provide a Clavinova CLP575, a Clavinova 625, and an A415 harpsichord (all in different rooms).
I have violins, violas, cello and a friend's 3/4 double bass available to play for multi-instrumentalists who do not wish to carry too much (please check before coming). There is a decent library of chamber music mostly for strings and for strings and piano, but some for mixed grooups and wind quintet; in practice at least one wind player usually comes equipped with appropriate music (I will provide warning to winds should this ever not be the case).
As this is my private home, details of the location will be emailed by early Sunday to those who have already signed up. Please confirm instruments, chosen timing and the attendance requirements
You will see that available playing times are very long - and I can extend until 10:30pm if appropriate. The intention is to allow us to space out and to minimise infection risks - as well as to give multiple pianists access.
Please bring a music stand (let me know if this is difficult or impractical, as I can provide a limited number).
There will be beverages and biscuits.
I have revised the anonymous contribution arrangement - it is now a rectangular tin on the high side in the kitchen. Please give if you can - we sometimes have insurance costs to cover as well as basic meetUp subscription; any surplus (wishful thinking so far) will be used to help extend the music library
The list of signed-up players (by instrument and with timing) is now in the comments below; I will try to keep this reasonably up to date
I have probably omitted things you need to know. Please ask. (Ditto apparent errors)
Looking forward
George

How to be more charismatic - FREE event - Turn conversations into friends
**FREE in-person communication skills training and group practice, recurring fortnightly, with optional pub social afterwards**
You’ll be welcomed at Pavona Bar by one of our hosts as people arrive. At 5pm, we’ll head downstairs to a private room where the session begins, led by our trainers on the evening’s topic.
Group participation is encouraged, with some simple exercises to help you practice conversations in a relaxed, non-judgemental space. Around 6:30pm, we’ll head back upstairs—feel free to stay for a drink and socialise or head off, whatever suits you.
Living in the city can feel like hitting the reset button on your social life.
You’re surrounded by people, but somehow, it still feels lonely.
This event is your roadmap to building meaningful friendships from scratch. No fake networking or forced small talk. No waiting around hoping someone invites you in.
Hosted by **Your Charisma Coach**! A live talk packed with practical insights and real stories. You’ll learn how to break the ice, build genuine connection, and create a social circle that actually lasts.
But it’s not just a talk. You’ll take part in fun, low-pressure games designed to help you practice engaging conversations, meet others in the room, and build real confidence in the moment.
This interactive evening gives you the tools to meet people and keep them in your life.
Not just acquaintances, but real friends. Your crew. Your people.
You’ll leave with practical tools, new connections, and a relaxed social hang to keep things going.
**🕔 Evenings Agenda:**
17:00 - 18:30 Talk and Games
18:30 - 19:30 Socialise and connect in the bar
🔑 **What You’ll Learn:**
**How to create playful connections that actually stick**
because “we should hang out sometime” shouldn’t be where it ends
**How to keep friendships alive when life gets messy**
like moving cities, switching jobs, or suddenly finding a new identity as a yoga instructor
**How to make your friendships fun for the long haul**
so they don’t fade after two catch-ups and a coffee.
**Simple habits that help friendships last for years**
without needing group chats, spreadsheets, or emotional labour
**🌍 More From Us**
This event is part of our Bi-weekly **Your Charisma Coach** series in London. Each week, we explore a different pillar of charisma — from storytelling to confidence to presence.

F\*ck the Small Talk has travelled the world across Berlin, Mexico City, Melbourne, Lisbon, Medellin, Vienna, and now back to London for its 3rd year in a row! 😎
**📦 WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?**
FTST is a **one-of-a-kind social experience** where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. It’s also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
Join us for **games**, **talks**, and **connections** with **friends you haven’t met yet**. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in London every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, this is the place for you. 🙌
**📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?**
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You’ll never have to speak in public if you don’t want to.
**📣 NOTE**: We won't validate your payment unless you've been accepted! (which you most likely will ❤️)

**💛 WHAT THEY SAY**
🗣 “This is the kind of activity humanity needs every weekend. Thank you for all.” - Sonya
🗣 “F\*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.” - Monika
🗣 “I loved F\*ck the small talk, I was a little bit nervous at first but they are pros at making you feel comfortable with the rest of the group, the activities are really fun and I enjoyed every second (consider that the one who's saying this is very, very shy). Give it a try!” - Brenda
🗣 “Lively, interesting, introspective, completely open, and no judgment. Everyone that joined was ready for great conversation and helped with different perspectives. So much fun! I can't wait for the next one! “ - Yaz

🤓 FAQ
**• Can I come alone?**
Of course, in fact, we encourage it!
**• Can I be late?**
Please don't! "Doors" open at 11:45am and we start at exactly 12:00pm! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow.
**• I signed up but never got an invite. Why?**
We usually get a high volume of sign-ups yet we like to keep it cozy & only invite around 25 people. We believe this is a good number to ensure an awesome experience, and we’ve learned that it’s easier to build connections with smaller groups! Please try again next time if do not receive an invite - no hard feelings 💛
**• Why do you charge?**
We value our time and put a lot of love, planning, and effort into creating & designing these experiences. 💛 This is our project/business and what we give to the world and we think everything should be a fair exchange! 🎈 However, money should never be the reason for people not to attend. If you can’t afford it simply get in touch with us :)
**• I'm digging this! Can I get involved somehow?**
Sure thing, send us a message!
**• Can I bring my pet (llama)?**
100% yes (depends on the venue, ask us!)
