rachmaninov_2nd_piano_concerto_by_candlelight


Enjoy an exceptional candlelit classical concert in the beautiful setting of Bath Abbey.

Step into the tranquil glow of candlelight and enjoy a spellbinding evening of classical music in the stunning surroundings of ​Bath Abbey

The evening begins with the noble grandeur of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5, also known as “The Emperor”. With its bold, majestic themes and virtuosic brilliance, this concerto showcases Beethoven at his most commanding and expressive. The mood then softens with Grieg’s Morning from Peer Gynt—a gentle, radiant piece that evokes the beauty of a new dawn with its lyrical charm and peaceful optimism.

The concert concludes with the deeply emotional and enduringly popular Piano Concerto No. 2 by Rachmaninov. Overflowing with lush romantic melodies and dramatic intensity, it remains one of the most beloved works in the repertoire—performed here by celebrated pianist Warren Mailley-Smith, whose interpretations continue to move audiences across the UK.

Performed with the acclaimed Piccadilly Sinfonietta, renowned for their artistry and exceptional performances, this is an evening of classical music not to be missed.
