Concert Pitch – The Debut Sessions

Experience local talent in one of Hampshire’s most majestic settings. Debut Sessions is a special open-stage performance giving passionate musicians—from exam students refining their pieces to lifelong hobbyists—the rare chance to perform live inside Winchester’s legendary Great Hall.

Set beneath King Arthur’s Round Table and supported by a magnificent grand piano, each artist brings their unique passion to the stage. Expect an encouraging, celebratory atmosphere filled with a diverse selection of classical pieces and heartfelt performances from emerging talent.

The Great Hall Café & Bar will be open, serving hot beverages, wine, beer, and light refreshments so you can relax, socialise, and cheer on the performers.

Performances start at 12pm
