Chopin & Champagne by Candlelight | Preludes Op.28

Celebrate the end of the week with an enchanting recital of Chopin’s piano masterpieces at the exclusive 1901 Arts Club—a venue that perfectly echoes the elegance of a bygone era.

Choose from two intimate performances:
✨ Pre-dinner at 6:30pm
✨ Post-dinner at 9:00pm

Each performance is preceded by a complimentary champagne reception, served from 30 minutes before the recital begins.

Step into the world of Frédéric Chopin, whose brilliant and emotionally rich music has captivated audiences for nearly two centuries. Originally performed in the refined salons of Paris and London’s aristocracy, Chopin’s compositions were made for intimate spaces like this—where the music breathes, and every nuance comes alive.
