Enjoy an exceptional candlelit classical concert in the beautiful setting of St GIles Cathedral.
Mozart’s piano sonatas reveal the full range of his genius—elegant, inventive, and emotionally rich. The Sonata in B-flat, K.281 sparkles with charm and lyrical grace, while the Sonata in D, K.311 balances playful energy with refined sophistication. Perhaps most famous is the Sonata in A, K.331, whose final movement, the exuberant “Alla Turca,” remains one of classical music’s most beloved pieces. Together, these works showcase Mozart’s uncanny ability to combine technical brilliance with profound expressive depth—each sonata a miniature masterpiece of clarity, wit, and timeless beauty. Featuring Luke Jones – piano
