The Grand Tour: English Piano Music by Candlelight (with complimentary
Embark on a musical journey through the English countryside and coastline as part of our Grand Tour concert series—each spotlighting the piano music of a different nation. For this special evening, we explore the rich and evocative world of English piano music, brought to life in the candlelit splendour of St Mary le Strand, one of London’s most beautiful Baroque churches.
