Programme Note
Celebrate the end of the week with an enchanting recital of Chopin’s piano masterpieces at the exclusive 1901 Arts Club—a venue that perfectly echoes the elegance of a bygone era.
Choose from two intimate performances:
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.
Step into the world of Frédéric Chopin, whose brilliant and emotionally rich music has captivated audiences for nearly two centuries. Originally performed in the refined salons of Paris and London’s aristocracy, Chopin’s compositions were made for intimate spaces like this—where the music breathes, and every nuance comes alive.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of music, atmosphere, and elegance!

She collaborates regularly with artists including her violinist husband Marcus Barcham Stevens and baritone Stephen Varcoe, as well as many of the RCM vocal students. Along with violinist Harriet Mackenzie, Christina recently recorded a CD of music by Grieg, Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev. The CD was released in August 2018 on the Nimbus label.
