Speaker: Samir Savant - St George's Bristol

Samir Savant is CEO of St Georges Bristol a world-class independent music venue in the heart of Bristol. The 580-seat concert hall was converted from a 200-year-old Georgian church, and is a truly special space where they welcome the finest performances from the world’s greatest artists. Their hall also has what Sir Simon Rattle called ‘the best acoustic for chamber music in Europe’ – meaning you can experience every note, riff, song, or symphony with perfect clarity (and often, no amplification at all!)

As well as a space for music, there is a space for performance, learning and ideas.  They even offer a philosophy season, lots of events for children and families, lunchtime concerts, plus author talks and comedians. Their beautiful building has expanded offering a contemporary pavilion-style extension housing a Café Bar and Glass Studio space.
