Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2 by Candlelight

This event has already passed

Listen to some classical music performed by the Piccadilly Sinfonietta and renowned concert pianist Warren Mailley-Smith, in the beautiful candlelit setting of St. Mary-le-Strand.

The 18th-century church stands opposite Somerset House and is known as the 'Jewel in the Strand'. It was once surrounded by traffic but the area has recently been pedestrianised and turned into a peaceful sanctuary of gardens, trees and pavement cafes.

Tonight's program will include Pachelbel's Canon in D, Elgar's Serenade for Strings and Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No.2.

Piccadilly Sinfonietta & Warren Mailley-Smith

Led by its founder Warren Mailley-Smith, the Piccadilly Sinfonietta has become a regular on the UK concert scene, performing in some of the country's most beautiful venues alongside leading virtuoso soloists.

Famous for his love of Chopin, Warren Mailley-Smith was the first British pianist to perform all 233 of the maestro's works entirely from memory. He has featured regularly on the BBC and Classic FM, and has even performed for the Royal Family.
