Programme Note
Immerse yourself in the festive spirit with an unforgettable evening of music and elegance, as renowned concert pianist Rose Mclachlan performs a heartwarming programme of Chopin’s piano masterpieces, alongside beloved seasonal favourites, in the candlelit splendour of St Mary Le Strand. Performed on the church’s brand new Steinway model B grand piano, this special Christmas concert promises a magical experience in one of London’s most beautiful hidden gems.
Frédéric Chopin, celebrated as one of the greatest composers for the piano, brings a richness of emotion, grace, and technical brilliance to the programme—paired here with touches of Christmas charm to lift the heart and inspire the spirit.
Your evening begins with a complimentary champagne reception served from 7:40pm, before the concert begins at 8:00pm. Surrounded by some of London’s finest bars and restaurants, this is the perfect way to celebrate the season in style.
About Rose McLachlan
Born into a family of musicians in Cheshire, Rose began piano lessons with her father, Murray McLachlan, aged 7. Shortly after she entered Chetham’s School of Music, initially as a chorister but later studying piano with Helen Krizos. She has performed in many venues across the UK, including The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, The Stoller Hall, St James Piccadilly and St Martin-in-the-Fields. With her family, Rose has given recital tours in Scotland, as well as performing the complete cycle of Beethoven piano concertos with her father and brothers, where she played the second concerto five times. She has also performed abroad, in Poland, Germany, Croatia and recently in America.
Rose is grateful to have played with orchestra on numerous occasions including; Ravel G Major Concerto with the Chetham’s Symphony Orchestra conducted by Mike Seal in 2018, and again in 2022 with the Haffner Orchestra conducted by Daniel Parkinson.
