Enjoy an exceptional candlelit classical concert in the beautiful 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.

Born in 1985 in Constanta, Romania, Madalina began her musical studies at the Music High School in Constanta with professors Iuliana Carlig, Cristian Dumitrescu and Constantin Ionescu–Vovu.
