Step into the candlelit serenity of St Mary Le Strand, one of London’s most exquisite baroque churches, for an unforgettable evening of classical music performed in a setting of rare intimacy and elegance. The perfect backdrop for an uplifting and emotionally resonant programme.
This enchanting concert features the Piccadilly Sinfonietta, joined by acclaimed soprano Susan Parkes and pianist Caroline Clipsham, in a sparkling celebration of Mozart and Beethoven—two towering giants of classical music.
The programme opens with Mozart’s vivacious Overture to The Marriage of Figaro, followed by the radiant vocal fireworks of his Alleluia and the graceful charm of the Divertimento in D major. Beethoven’s iconic Moonlight Sonata, performed on solo piano, offers moments of introspection and beauty, while Mozart’s beloved Eine Kleine Nachtmusik brings the evening to a joyful and spirited close.
