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
Discover the lyrical dialogue of piano and cello beneath the flickering glow of candlelight. Join celebrated musicians for an intimate recital of Fauré’s Élégie and Rachmaninov’s passionate G minor Sonata.Set within the intimate, candlelit arches of a hidden Baroque chapel, this chamber recital pairs two of Britain’s most accomplished musicians in an evocative dialogue between piano and cello. Pianist Warren Mailley-Smith and cellist Hannah Lewis draw out the haunting lyricism of Gabriel Fauré’s Élégie and the stormy passions of Sergei Rachmaninov’s Sonata in G minor, their instruments entwining in moments of hushed grace and dramatic intensity. The programme journeys through Romanticism’s rich emotional landscape, from tender reflection to sweeping virtuosity, all enhanced by the warm glow of a candlelit sanctuary. Whether you are a seasoned classical aficionado or newly curious, this performance promises an unforgettable immersion in chamber music’s deepest expressive treasures.
