Chopin

A candlelit concert of music by Frédéric Chopin, presented in St Mary Le Strand Church on the Strand in London, with cellist Kirsten Jenson and pianist Warren Mailley-Smith. The programme is drawn from Chopin's works.

This candlelit concert is devoted to the music of Frédéric Chopin, the Franco-Polish composer and pianist born in 1810 in Żelazowa Wola. Active from 1817, he settled in France at the age of twenty-one and wrote a body of work that is almost exclusively for the piano.

The programme brings together the Introduction and Polonaise brillante in C major, Op. 3, the Cello Sonata in G minor, Op. 65, and the Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23. The cellist Kirsten Jenson and the pianist Warren Mailley-Smith perform the evening.

St Mary Le Strand Church is a church on the Strand in London. Alongside its role as a place of worship, it mainly hosts concerts, especially candlelight performances, and this event is one of them. The evening is given over entirely to Chopin's music for cello and piano and for solo piano.
