The Series - Chopin & Champagne by Candlelight
The brilliant piano music of the great Frédéric Chopin has never been out of fashion since it first burst onto the international scene in the early 19th century. This music wasn’t intended for the great concert halls of today, but for the intimate setting of Parisian and London Salons of the aristocracy. This was the setting where Chopin felt most at ease and improvised many of his works for the first time.
Audiences can now experience his music across 9 x 1 hour programmes (performed from memory) in the beautifully authentic salon-setting of London's 1901 Arts Club - with the accompaniment of a pre-performance champagne reception at our intimate and exclusive venue. The series includes 8 separate programmes, from October 2022 to July 2023. |
The Pianist - Warren Mailley-SmithIn 2016, Warren Mailley-Smith became the first British concert pianist to perform from memory the complete solo piano works (233 works) of Frédéric Chopin, in one series - hailed as “an epic achievement” by the British press. Warren has performed on many occasions for the British Royal Family and his recordings are featured regularly on Classic FM and BBC Radio.
