Mozart Concertos by Candlelight at St Mary le Strand

A Candlelight concert of Mozart's concertos, given in St Mary Le Strand Church, a Baroque church on the Strand in central London. The programme presents works by the Salzburg-born composer.

The programme is built around the concertos of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791), the Salzburg-born composer of the Classical period. Among his best-known works in this form are the piano concertos, the violin concertos and the horn concertos, which show his command of the solo voice set against the orchestra. Mozart himself does not perform in this presentation; the music is heard in the hands of the performers engaged for the Candlelight series.

St Mary Le Strand Church is a religious building on the Strand, designed by James Gibbs and completed in 1717. Its setting suits a programme of this kind, and the evening is aimed at listeners who want a focused hour or so of Mozart's concerto repertoire in a historic London church.
