Situated on the Strand, close to Somerset House and King’s College London, St Mary le Strand is one of central London’s finest examples of English Baroque architecture. Its distinctive silhouette, ornate exterior and richly decorated interior make it a striking landmark in the heart of the city. Once surrounded by busy traffic, the church now stands within a pedestrianised public space, offering a quieter setting amid the activity of the Strand and Aldwych. A Grade I listed building, St Mary le Strand remains both an active Church of England parish church and a cultural landmark. Its architectural distinction, fascinating history and varied musical programme make it a memorable destination for visitors exploring London’s historic Strand and a characterful setting for concerts in the city centre.

Programme
Overview
Enter a world of golden candlelight as the Piccadilly Sinfonietta and virtuoso violinist Zea Hunt illuminate the music of Bach, Mozart and Handel in an unforgettable evening of baroque brilliance.Under the shimmering glow of dozens of candles in St Mary le Strand, the Piccadilly Sinfonietta partners with acclaimed violinist Zea Hunt for an intimate journey through the masterpieces of Bach, Mozart and Handel. Two of Bach’s ever-popular Brandenburg Concertos open this program with vibrant energy and intricate interplay, while Mozart’s lyrical warmth and Handel’s majestic brilliance follow in succession. The chamber ensemble’s expressive phrasing and Hunt’s virtuosic command transform the historic nave into a resonant tapestry of sound, each note casting ripples of emotion across soaring arches. Celebrated for their seamless blend of period style and contemporary flair, the Sinfonietta invites you to experience the baroque, classical and early romantic eras in an atmosphere that glows as brightly as the candles themselves.
