Warren Mailley-Smith is one of the UK’s most accomplished and in-demand concert pianists, performing over 150 times each year. In 2016, he became the first British pianist to perform the complete solo piano works of Chopin from memory in a landmark series of 11 recitals at St John’s Smith Square, an achievement hailed by critics as “epic.” He is set to repeat the acclaimed series in venues across the UK in the coming seasons.
