Sofie Birch

Sofie Birch is an electronic act performing at St Matthias Church in Stoke Newington, north London. The concert brings the genre into a church setting, a combination that differs from a standard club or theatre night.

Sofie Birch is an electronic act, and this concert takes place at St Matthias Church, a religious building in Stoke Newington. As a place of worship, the church offers a setting that is quite different from a dedicated music venue, so the evening combines electronic music with an architectural space built for another purpose.

Electronic music is generally built on synthesisers, drum machines, samplers and computer-based production, and the genre gives a clear indication of the sound to expect. The night suits listeners who follow electronic music and are interested in hearing it performed outside a club or a conventional stage.

St Matthias Church is in Stoke Newington, a residential district in the London Borough of Hackney. Its location in north London makes it accessible from several parts of the city, and the concert forms part of the wider range of cultural outings across the capital.
