Moonlight Sonata at Christmas at St James's Church Piccadilly

A candlelit piano recital of classical works by Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin, Debussy, Handel, Liszt and Beethoven, performed by the pianist Ziteng Fan at St James's Church Piccadilly in central London.

The programme is a selection of well-known piano pieces, including Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, alongside works by Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin, Debussy, Handel in an arrangement by Wilhelm Kempff, and Liszt's Liebestraum. Ziteng Fan is presented as a British concert pianist and performs as the sole soloist, with the piano as the only listed instrument.

The concert is promoted as a Christmas-season recital, and the organisers describe it as a suitable first classical concert for newcomers. The event is presented by CityMusic Promotions and takes place in the candlelit setting of St James's Church on Piccadilly, a church in the centre of London that hosts concerts and shows throughout the year.

The evening suits those who want to hear a familiar repertoire of piano music in a single programme, from short lyrical pieces to the longer Chopin Ballade No. 1 that closes the selection.
