Moonlight Sonata by Candlelight at St Giles

A candlelit piano recital in St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, built around Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and a programme of other piano works by Bach, Liszt, Grieg and Gershwin. The concert is presented by City Music Promotions and is not affiliated with the Fever Original Candlelight series.

The programme is performed by pianists Simon Watterton and Ugnius Pauliukonis, who appear on different dates. The recital presented on the evening of the first date includes Bach's Aria from the Goldberg Variations, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, Liszt's Petrarch Sonnet 123, Grieg's Wedding Day at Troldhaugen and Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. Beethoven's Pathétique Sonata is among the works listed for the other performer.

The concert is staged in St Giles'Cathedral, a cathedral on the High Street in Edinburgh. As well as serving as a place of worship, the building mainly hosts concerts, including candlelit performances, which is the format of this evening. The mix of familiar Romantic and early twentieth-century pieces suits listeners who are new to classical concerts.

The event is organised by City Music Promotions and is not part of the Fever Original Candlelight series. It is not suitable for children under five, and babies are not admitted.
