Concert 4: Sonata No.2
from Chopin & Champagne by Candlelight, series presented by CityMusic Promotions.

Celebrate the end of the week with a pre-dinner (6.30pm) or post-dinner (9pm) performance of Chopin, complete with a complimentary champagne reception (served from 30mins before).

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.

Concert pianist, Warren Mailley-Smith recently became the first British pianist to perform the complete works of Chopin in one series of concerts, from memory.
