Programme Note
Immerse yourself in an unforgettable evening of music and elegance, as renowned concert pianist Warren Mailley-Smith performs a breathtaking programme of Chopin’s piano masterpieces in the candlelit splendour of St Mary Le Strand on the church's brand new Steinway model B grand piano. Located in the heart of London, St Mary Le Strand is a hidden architectural gem, a magical setting that perfectly complements the romantic brilliance of Chopin’s music.
Frédéric Chopin is celebrated as one of the greatest piano composers in history—a poet of the piano whose works are rich in emotion, nuance, and technical brilliance. His music, full of passion and elegance, continues to enchant listeners around the world. Experiencing it live, in such a historically and acoustically rich setting, is a rare and unforgettable treat.
Begin your evening with a complimentary champagne reception served from 5:40pm, before the performance begins at 6:00pm. Surrounded by some of London’s finest bars and restaurants, this is the perfect way to start your weekend in style.
Warren Mailley-Smith has developed a large following across the UK, with audiences warming to his outstanding pianism, effortless technique and charismatic charm. He made waves in the music world in 2015 through his extraordinary achievement of performing the complete solo works of Chopin from memory. His career has taken him all over the world, with solo performances in Australia, Europe and with solo tours in China and the USA. He has 30 piano concertos in his repertoire, having made his concerto debut with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
