St Georges Unplugged is a regular series of ‘walk-in’ lunch concerts for the summer season, offering a variety of classical music in an informal and friendly way. They are introduced by the musicians, and patrons are invited to sit, unwind, ‘unplug’ and contemplate through music in the iconic surroundings of St Georges Cathedral in the heart of the City.

Experience the best upcoming and established artists at St George’s every Tuesday and Thursday from January 14 to March 27.

The concerts run from 1.15pm to 2pm in the Cathedral
