Beethoven by Candlelight

Step into a world of timeless elegance with an exquisite piano recital celebrating the genius of Beethoven, brought to life in the breathtaking, candlelit setting of St Mary Le Strand—one of London’s architectural treasures, a baroque masterpiece offers a truly majestic and intimate atmosphere, making it the perfect setting for an evening of classical brilliance.

Surrounded by the soft glow of candlelight, guests will be immersed in the beauty and serenity of this historic venue.
