Idrîsî Ensemble: Live in Brighton

If you are looking for something a bit different to do in Brighton towards the end of the month, the Idrîsî Ensemble is performing at St George’s Church on Friday, 26 June 2026. It is a chance to hear a programme of medieval trios and quartets that are quite rare, as many of these pieces have never been recorded before. The group, led by director Thomas Fournil, consists of six singers who focus on exploring the connections between science and the sacred, specifically looking at concepts like the trivium and quadrivium through geometry, arithmetic, and symbolism.

The concert takes place at the church on St George’s Road in Kemp Town Village. Doors open at 18:30, and the performance itself starts at 19:30. It is scheduled to finish around 20:45, and there will not be an interval during the set. It is worth noting that the seating is unallocated, so if you are planning to go with friends, you might want to arrive in good time to find a spot together. The event is open to everyone, and the venue has accessible facilities available.

Tickets for the evening are priced between £20.00 and £30.00. It is a straightforward setup for a Friday night if you have an interest in early music or just want to experience something a little quieter and more contemplative in a local setting. Since the programme focuses on endangered and rare medieval works, it offers a specific kind of listening experience that you do not come across every day in the city.
