Located in the heart of Covent Garden, just off the famous piazza, St Paul’s Church is one of London’s most distinctive historic buildings. Designed by the celebrated architect Inigo Jones, it is admired for its elegant classical proportions and monumental portico. The church is also widely known as the Actors’ Church, reflecting its centuries-long association with the theatrical world of London’s West End. With its distinguished architecture, theatrical heritage and varied programme of music and performance, St Paul’s Covent Garden offers a venue with a character quite unlike that of a conventional concert hall. Its combination of historic surroundings, cultural associations and intimate garden setting makes it a memorable destination in London’s West End.

Programme
Overview
Join virtuoso pianist Warren Mailley-Smith for an intimate candlelit recital of Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninoff, Debussy and Beethoven in the historic Actors’ Church at Covent Garden. Experience an unforgettable evening of masterful piano storytelling in the heart of London.Under the soft glow of flickering candles in the vaulted nave of the Actors’ Church at Covent Garden, acclaimed pianist Warren Mailley-Smith invites you on a transcendent musical journey. This carefully curated programme unfolds with the whirlwind brilliance of Chopin’s Fantaisie-Impromptu and the lyrical poise of Liszt’s Un Sospiro, before turning to the folk-inspired warmth of Grieg’s Wedding Day at Troldhaugen. Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in C-sharp minor brings a dramatic surge of emotion, while Debussy’s Clair de Lune bathes the space in shimmering nocturnal beauty, culminating in the hauntingly serene first movement of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. The intimate candlelit setting enhances every nuance of touch and tone, allowing each dynamic contrast and tonal colour to resonate within the church’s historic stone walls. For an elevated experience, VIP tickets offer front-row seating, a glass of Prosecco, a signed CD, fast-track entry, and a private five-minute conversation with the pianist. This evening promises a rare blend of virtuosity, atmosphere and heartfelt musical storytelling, perfect for a refined night out in the heart of London.
