More than a concert space, ‘Listen to the World’ brings people together across differences of all kinds – on stage and among the audience – for evenings that celebrate cultural diversity and create meaningful encounters in an atmosphere of inclusion and warmth.

Among our vocalists and musicians are performers whose musical roots travel from Nicaragua to Ukraine, Afghanistan to Sudan and everywhere in between. The intimacy of the nave allows for truly magical evenings as performers captivate audiences with their rhythms, their songs and stories, and their engagement with the audience during Q&As and their invitations to participate.

Our audiences are global and intergenerational; young people, adults and families with young children bring their curiosity and joy to the nave, sometimes seated, sometimes dancing – wherever the mood of the music carries them.  Some come to experience the richness of London’s diverse music scene, others for the scent of home carried in mother tongues, or the musical traditions and instruments of the performers.
