Forthcoming Events organised by the Friends
Hallo everyone! We are delighted to continue our series of fascinating talks in the historic setting of this largely unchanged 18th century church in Whitechapel. We are also pleased to be able to live-stream the talks for those of you who are unable to get to the church or would prefer not to leave home on a wet night and sit in a hard (albeit eighteenth century) box-pew to hear the talk.

In the footsteps of John Dowland – Rick Jones
John Dowland was the greatest lutenist of his age, although he was overlooked by Queen Elizabeth I and had a peripatetic career around the courts of Europe - especially in Germany and Denmark. Rick Jones, chairman of the Friends of St George's, celebrates 400 years since Dowland's death in 1626 with an illustrated talk on the journey Dowland made to Elsinore and beyond, which he re-enacted this year.
This event will be in-person at St George's and online via Zoom. If you wish to watch online, please register here to get the Zoom link. The same link can be used to pre-purchase your ticket if you plan to attend the talk at St George's in person. You can also pay at the door (cash or card).
