The Grand Tour: French Piano Music
Step into the elegance of candlelight and embark on the next stop of our Grand Tour—a concert series celebrating the rich piano traditions of different nations. For this enchanting evening, we journey to France, immersing ourselves in the colour, charm, and sophistication of French piano music, performed in the glorious surroundings of St Mary le Strand, one of London’s most exquisite Baroque churches.
Internationally acclaimed pianist Julian Trevelyan presents a beautifully crafted programme that spans three centuries of French keyboard artistry—from the sparkling Baroque miniatures of Daquin and Rameau, through the poetic Impressionism of Debussy, Fauré, and Ravel, to the profound Romanticism of César Franck. With its blend of refinement and imagination, this recital captures the spirit of French culture in music.
Enjoy a complimentary glass of French wine as you soak in the glowing ambience of the venue — whether you’re discovering classical music for the first time or returning as a devoted listener.
