Piccadilly Sinfonietta, Warren Mailley-Smith

On the night before Valentine’s Day, in the heart of London, join us for a romantic, candlelit evening in the stunning Southwark Cathedral with the Piccadilly Sinfonietta and pianist and Artistic Director, Warren Mailley-Smith.

The concert includes timeless works by the monumental composers, Mozart, Handel, Bach, and Vivaldi. If you’re looking for a special evening with your Valentine, in need of a relaxing experience, want to learn more about classical music, or just want to hear virtuosic performances by some of the best, young performers in the UK, this concert is just for you.

The Piccadilly Sinfonietta is one of the UK’s most exciting young ensembles. Founded in 2018, the ensemble has performed in halls throughout the UK including London, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Manchester and further afield, it exists to perform the world’s greatest classical music in the UK’s most historic venues.

The concert features breath-taking feats of violin virtuosity in Vivaldi’s Four Seasons
and from the virtuoso concert pianist Warren Mailley-Smith in a performance of Mozart’s sublime Piano Concerto No. 12 in A major.

Warren is an award-winning concert pianist who has performed many times for the British Royal Family as well as with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and recently became the first British pianist to perform Chopin’s complete solo piano works from memory. Warren’s recordings have been featured by Classic FM as CD of the Week and are featured regularly on Classic FM and the BBC. He is currently recording the complete works of Chopin over a 3-year period for a 12-disc set for Sleeveless Records. He is also an active chamber musician and is the Artistic Director of the Piccadilly Chamber Music Series and The Piccadilly Sinfonietta. He is a graduate in Law from the University of Warwick. An exceptional talent and a self-deprecating sense of humour, combined with his formidable technical skill and mature musicality, make him a favourite with audiences and venue staff alike. Classic FM described him as 'Stunning'.
