Midsummer Moonlight by Candlelight (with a glass of Pimm’s)
Step into an enchanting midsummer evening of classical and romantic piano music, bathed in the soft glow of candlelight and set within the breathtaking surroundings of one of London’s most historic churches — St Mary le Strand.
This intimate recital, performed by acclaimed concert pianist Warren Mailley-Smith, offers a rare opportunity to hear iconic piano masterpieces in a setting that elevates their emotional depth and timeless beauty. Let the music transport you as you sip a complimentary glass of Pimm’s, surrounded by the serene, candlelit atmosphere of this architectural gem. Perfectly timed to enhance your evening plans, the concert finishes early enough to enjoy one of the many excellent bars or restaurants nearby.
The programme is a handpicked selection of piano favourites — a summer’s night soundtrack of elegance and reflection. Highlights include Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, Debussy’s Clair de Lune, and evocative nocturnes and miniatures by Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Field, Grieg, and Fauré.
