Chopin and Champagne by Candlelight

About the show

Enjoy a sublime evening of music in the majestic, candlelit setting of Manchester Cathedral, as acclaimed British pianist Warren Mailley-Smith performs a stunning programme of Chopin’s most exquisite solo piano works.

From the tender lyricism of the Nocturnes to the brilliant drama of the Scherzos and the irresistible charm of the Waltzes, this carefully curated recital offers a captivating journey through the many facets of Chopin’s genius. Each piece reveals the composer’s unique ability to blend poetic depth with virtuosic brilliance, in music that remains as moving today as when it was first written.

To begin your afternoon in style, a complimentary champagne reception will be served from 5:40pm, ahead of the 6:00pm performance. With Manchester’s finest restaurants and bars just steps away, it’s the perfect way to spend a winter afternoon in the heart of the city.
