Enjoy an exceptional candlelit classical concert in the beautiful setting of St Mary le Strand.
This recital showcases a thrilling programme of piano masterworks, from the shimmering delicacy of Moszkowski’s Écintelles to the electrifying drama of Beethoven’s “Appassionata” Sonata. Be transported by the glittering whirlwind of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Flight of the Bumblebee, the fiery passion of Scriabin’s Sonata No. 5, and the exotic splendour of Balakirev’s Islamey—a dazzling showpiece of the Romantic repertoire.
Whether you're a lifelong classical enthusiast or a curious newcomer, this candlelit concert offers a rare opportunity to witness pianistic virtuosity in one of London’s most historic and atmospheric venues. With a wealth of bars and restaurants nearby, your evening can continue in style after the final note fades.
