Join the Piccadilly Sinfonietta for an atmospheric candlelit concert at St. Mary-le-Strand church, during which they will perform Bach's Violin Concerto in E Major, Air on a G String and Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor, alongside Vivaldi's Violin Concerto in G minor and Double Violin Concerto in A Minor.

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.
