Listen to some of Debussy's greatest piano works in the beautiful candlelit setting of St. Mary-le-Strand, performed by Dominic Degavino and Olga Stezhko.
This 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.

As a soloist, chamber musician and jazz player, Dominic has performed with the Manchester Camerata and RNCM Symphony Orchestra and appeared at venues all over the country including Wigmore Hall and the Southbank Centre.
His programme tonight will include Beethoven's Sonata in E Major, Debussy's La Terasse aux Audiences de Clair de Lune, Le vent dans la plaine, Liszt's St. François d'Assise: La prédication aux oiseaux and Schumann's Piano Sonata No.2 in G minor.

The critically acclaimed concert pianist Olga Stezhko is particularly well known for her interpretations of Scriabin and Debussy. She has won numerous competitions including First Prize at the Nikolai Rubinstein Piano Competition in France, and the Halina Czerny-Stefańska Piano Competition in Poland.
Her programme tonight will include Debussy's Les sons et les parfums tournent dans l'air du soir, Modérément animé, Poulenc's Melancolie, Lev Abeliovich's Three Romantic Preludes & Tarantella and selected movements from George Crumb's Makrokosmos II.
