Chopin & Champagne by Candlelight
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.
