Debussy Preludes by Candelight - Andrew Zolinsky
St Mary le Strand (The Jewel of the Strand) plays host to the third Strand International Piano Series, further to its launch to great acclaim in the 2022-23 season.
The theme of this year's series will be Debussy's Preludes. Composed between 1909 and 1913, these are testament to Debussy's innovative approach to piano music and his mastery of impressionistic techniques. The two books of preludes, each containing twelve pieces, showcase Debussy's ability to evoke vivid imagery, moods, and atmospheres through music.
