Enjoy an exceptional candlelit classical concert in the stunning setting of St Mary's Cathedral.
Frédéric Chopin is celebrated as one of the greatest piano composers in history—a poet of the piano whose works are rich in emotion, nuance, and technical brilliance. His music, full of passion and elegance, continues to enchant listeners around the world. Experiencing it live, in such a historically and acoustically rich setting, is a rare and unforgettable treat.
Begin your evening with a complimentary champagne reception served from 6:50pm, before the performance begins at 7:30pm.

In 2016, he became the first British pianist to perform the complete solo piano works of Chopin from memory in a landmark series of 11 recitals at St John’s Smith Square, an achievement hailed by critics as “epic.” He is set to repeat the acclaimed series in venues across the UK in the coming seasons. Warren has given solo recitals at prestigious venues including Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall, and has performed for the British Royal Family on numerous occasions. A passionate chamber musician, he is the Artistic Director of the Piccadilly Chamber Music Series and Founder and Artistic Director of The Piccadilly Sinfonietta. His career has taken him across the globe, with solo performances throughout Europe, Australia, China, and the USA. He boasts a concerto repertoire of over 40 piano concertos, having made his concerto debut with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Warren’s growing discography has been widely praised by critics, broadcasters, and the public. His recordings are regularly featured on Classic FM and BBC Radio, with several albums selected as Classic FM’s CD of the Week.
