Masterworkers upstairs at the Retro Bar, just off the Strand, with an eclectic programme ranging from Argentinian Tango, to impressionist France, and iconic Broadway.
Masterworkers believe that no one should have to be overdressed, uncomfortably seated or even sober to enjoy classical music performed at the highest level.
The eclectic programme features Argentinian tangos by Piazzolla Included Café 1930, Nightclub 1960, Oblivion and Escualo. Saint-Saëns showpiece “Introduction and Rondo Caprricoso” Massenet's Meditation from Thaïs, plus some of Elgar and Debussy's most beautiful tunes, and Villa-Lobos ‘Song of the Black Swan’ - all introduced in our unique lighthearted style.
