what are noisenights?
noisenights are our vision for the future of classical music: crowdfunded gigs taking world-leading musicians to iconic independent venues.

At the centre of every noisenight is a one-hour classical set. We platform international soloists and ensembles while also giving opportunities to outstanding new artists. All noisenights take place in gig venues where you get to experience classical music up close.
Live music needs your backing more than ever. Backing a noisenight means getting tickets to hear the world's best performers in grassroots venues and being part of a community working for a positive future for live music. Putting it simply, you giving your backing will make this gig happen and secure you a ticket.
After a noisenight reaches its funding target, we'll e-mail all backers to confirm it and a small amount of extra tickets will be made available. Tickets are released in four stages, which increase in price the closer to the event they're purchased. Book early to get the best price.
Please note that due to the venue's license, this noisenight is strictly 18+.
the venue:
OSLO is one of London's iconic gig venues. The first of its type to open in the area, it's based in the redeveloped Victorian Hackney railway station.
They've hosted Mumford and Sons, Dua Lipa, and Alabama Shakes, but noisenights were the first classical shows to take over this unique space. We're returning again after three sold-out shows earlier this year.
the music:
Rosie Bennet presents an exploration of storytelling power of Mediterranean guitar music, ranging from music by the legendary Paco de Lucia to the intricate compositions of Albeniz and Tedesco.
