Add to my Calendar 29-05-2026 18:00 29-05-2026 20:00 36 Einaudi Chillout Piano by Candlelight Unwind with an enchanting evening of piano music in the serene, candlelit setting of St Mary le Strand—one of London’s most beautiful hidden gems. This calming recital offers a peaceful start to your weekend, bringing together music of reflection, tenderness, and quiet uplift from the Romantic era to the present day. At the heart of the programme is the spellbinding music of Ludovico Einaudi, whose poetic minimalism has captivated listeners around the world. Pianist David Richard brings expressive sensitivity and international flair to a generous selection of Einaudi’s most beloved works, including I Giorni, Primavera, Le Onde, and Una Mattina—pieces celebrated for their luminous simplicity and emotional clarity. These modern classics are beautifully complemented by earlier masterpieces: Debussy’s shimmering Arabesque No. 1 and the timeless Clair de Lune, Chopin’s poetic Nocturne in E-flat major and dramatic Waltz in C-sharp minor, and Rachmaninov’s radiant Prelude in D major. Together, they create a seamless musical journey through tranquillity, colour, and emotional resonance. Whether you are a devoted classical listener or simply seeking a restorative and memorable evening out, this candlelit concert promises an atmosphere of stillness, beauty, and musical elegance.  St Mary Le Strand Church, London DD/MM/YYYY
