Enjoy an exceptional candlelit classical concert in the beautiful setting of St Mary le Strand.
Performing on the church’s brand new Steinway Model B grand piano, Maiko Mori brings together classical brilliance and winter charm with a captivating mix of masterpieces. From the emotional depth of Beethoven’s Pathétique Sonata to the nostalgic Nordic landscapes of Grieg’s Lyric Pieces, and the jazzy sparkle of Gershwin’s Three Preludes and iconic Rhapsody in Blue, this festive recital offers comfort, joy, and virtuosity in equal measure.
Whether you're escaping the holiday bustle or sharing a special night out, this uplifting programme promises a celebration of music and the season’s spirit in one of London’s most atmospheric churches.
