Organist Graham Davies retired to The Hospital of St Cross in Winchester six years ago and following the pandemic, he embarked upon a project to support young musicians from nearby schools and colleges by providing a performing opportunity in the beautiful chapel at St Cross. “Perfect Pitch” Lunchtime Concerts was born.
Support for the concerts grew significantly and large audiences gather each week to hear a wide variety of music and instruments, performed to a high standard. Those performing range from junior schools to leading students from The Royal Academy of Music.
“Perfect Pitch” are continuing to work with Hampshire Music Education Hub in the delivery of the 2026 concert season. This exciting partnership aims to inspire and nurture young musical talent across Hampshire, providing students with opportunities to develop their performance skills. Together, it is hoped to foster a lifelong enjoyment of performing live music, enhance the already exceptional music educational opportunities, and strengthen community bonds through the power of music.
A website devoted to “Perfect Pitch” Concerts is available and contains a full listing of the Thursday concerts and also details of those performing. Please see the website address below.
The 2026 series continues on every Thursday at 12.30 until 26th November 2026. The series offers a variety and the music performed is accessible and caters for all tastes. They are free to attend, with a retiring collection to be donated toward the ongoing conservation work of The Hospital.
Enjoy exploring the website and consider signing up to receive occasional newsletters and other information about “Perfect Pitch” Concerts.
