St-Martin-in-the-Fields


The Church of St. Martin in the Fields once actually stood in a Field between the citizens of London and the citizens of Westminster but now it is in the heart of the city. It sits adjacent to The National Portrait Gallery on Trafalgar Square. It is world famous for great music. On Friday at 1pm they have free concerts and this past friday I went to hear an Opera concert. For me there is something so relaxing to step in from the busy city to hear music in a church. There were many classical works sung by a young Irish opera singer who was accompanied by a Spanish pianist. I would like to go back to St. Martin in the Fields for more great classical music.
