Programme Note
Step into a world of baroque brilliance with an enchanting candlelit concert at St Mary le Strand—one of London’s most atmospheric hidden gems. Performed by the acclaimed Piccadilly Sinfonietta, this evening of timeless music features guest soloists Amanda Cook (guitar) and Julian Fish (violin) in a captivating programme of works by Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, and Locatelli.
Violinist Julian Fish brings flair and lyricism to Vivaldi’s Violin Concerto in A minor, while celebrated guitarist Amanda Cook shines in the elegant centre piece of the concert, Concerto for Guitar and Strings in D major, RV 93. Their performances, alongside the Piccadilly Sinfonietta’s rich and refined ensemble playing, offer a vivid showcase of the expressive power of baroque music.
With flickering candlelight, world-class musicianship, and the breathtaking architecture of St Mary le Strand, this is an ideal way to spend a memorable evening in central London.
