On the night before Valentine’s Day, in the heart of London, join us for a romantic, candlelit evening in the stunning Southwark Cathedral with the Piccadilly Sinfonietta and pianist and Artistic Director, Warren Mailley-Smith.
The concert features timeless works by the monumental composers, Mozart, Handel, Bach, and Vivaldi.

The Piccadilly Sinfonietta is one of the UK’s most exciting young ensembles. Founded in 2018, the ensemble has performed in halls throughout the UK including London, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Manchester and further afield, it exists to perform the world’s greatest classical music in the UK’s most historic venues.
The concert features breath-taking feats ofviolin virtuosity in Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and the “stunning” playing of pianist Warren Mailley-Smith in Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 12 in A major.
Warren is an award-winning concert pianist and has performed many times for the British Royal Family. He recently became the first British pianist to perform Chopin’s complete works for solo piano from memory. An exceptional talent and a self-deprecating sense of humour, combined with his formidable technical skill and mature musicality, make him a favourite with audiences.
