WELCOME TO MOMENTS MUSICAUX JERSEY

‘Moments Musicaux Jersey’ was founded in 2022 to promote professional classical music on the island. We are inspired by bringing together an audience who loves classical music and sought-after internationally acclaimed artists as well as building new projects to create a one-of-a-kind concert experience. We look forward to welcoming you at one of our concerts!

UPCOMING CONCERTS

We are exploring music from a different aspect each year. In 2023 we are inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach and his influence on every composer who came after him. You can already look forward to 2024 when we will focus on English and French Composers to celebrate Jersey’s unique geographical and cultural position in the Channel Islands.
