Chopin and Champagne: The Preludes | Warren Mailley-Smith (piano)

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. Warren continues his Chopin marathon at the exclusive 1901 Arts Club with the exquisite 24 Preludes and a selection of other beautiful works.

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 (which starts 30 mins before each performance)!

This event is planned subject to England reaching Stage 3 of the government's covid-19 recovery roadmap (projected to be no earlier than 17 May), which will permit indoor performances and hospitality for seated, socially-distanced audiences. CityMusic Promotions will be in touch with all ticketholders with full options available if Stage 3 is not met by the concert date.
