Enjoy an exceptional candlelit classical concert in the beautiful setting of St Mary Le Strand Church.
Performed on the church’s brand new Steinway model B grand piano, this special Christmas concert promises a magical experience in one of London’s most beautiful hidden gems.Located in the heart of the city, St Mary Le Strand offers an enchanting setting that perfectly complements the romantic brilliance of Chopin’s music and the nostalgic warmth of the holiday season. The soft glow of candlelight, the historic architecture, and the exquisite acoustics combine to create a truly unforgettable festive atmosphere.
Frédéric Chopin, celebrated as one of the greatest composers for the piano, brings a richness of emotion, grace, and technical brilliance to the programme—paired here with touches of Christmas charm to lift the heart and inspire the spirit.
Your evening begins with a complimentary champagne reception served from 7:40pm, before the concert begins at 8:00pm. Surrounded by some of London’s finest bars and restaurants, this is the perfect way to celebrate the season in style.
