Programme Note
Step into a world of festive elegance and musical enchantment as we celebrate the magic of Christmas with a special recital of Chopin’s piano masterpieces. Set within the candlelit intimacy of the 1901 Arts Club—London’s hidden gem that echoes the charm of a bygone era—this is the perfect way to mark the holiday season.
Two performances to choose from:
✨ Pre-dinner at 6:30pm
✨ Post-dinner at 9:00pm
Each performance is preceded by a complimentary champagne reception, served from 30 minutes before the recital begins. Enjoy the warmth of sparkling wine, seasonal ambience, and good company before the music begins.
Immerse yourself in the poetic and soul-stirring world of Frédéric Chopin, whose music—once heard in the elegant salons of 19th-century Europe—feels right at home in this intimate setting. This special Christmas programme offers a moment of reflection, joy, and beauty amidst the bustle of the festive season.
About Renata Konyicska
Praised for her “sparkling, crystal-clear passage-work” (Classical Music Daily) and “triumph of musicianship” (Stratford Herald), Hungarian-British pianist Renata Konyicska brings her artistry and warmth to this festive programme. A true international talent, she has appeared at leading festivals across Europe and studied at the Franz Liszt Academy, Royal Academy of Music, and Birmingham Conservatoire. Drawn to music early on Renata was introduced to piano at the age of 5. Her talent was supported by her family who had not had musicians before. Soon after she was admitted to the School for Exceptional Young Talents at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, in the class of Zsuzsa Esztó. She continued her studies with László Baranyay, Rita Wagner and Márta Gulyás at the same institute and attained her Bachelors degree with highest honours. She moved to London to study with Pascal Nemirovski at the Royal Academy of Music where she graduated with her Masters degree. In 2018 she received her Advanced Postgraduate Diploma at the Birmingham Conservatoire.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of music, seasonal charm, and refined celebration—a Christmas concert like no other.
