Enjoy an exceptional candlelit piano recital to mark the end of 2024! The concert will include some of the greatest repertoire for solo piano including Beethoven's masterpiece iconic, The Moonlight Sonata, performed by renowned concert pianist Warren Mailley-Smith. Set in the beautiful candlelit location of St Mary le Strand. It's a hugely appealing programme designed to help you celebrate the lead up to the new year in style! There's a good choice of bars and restaurants nearby to complete your night.
In 2016 Warren Mailley-Smith became the first British pianist to perform Chopin's complete works for solo piano from memory in a series of 11 recitals at St John's Smith Square. Hailed by the critics as an "epic achievement", Mailley-Smith will repeat the series at several venues in coming season. He has given acclaimed solo recitals at The Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall and has performed for the British Royal Family on numerous occasions. He is one of the busiest concert pianists of his generation and gave over 200 performances last year.
