Experience an enchanting evening of piano music, illuminated by candlelight, in the stunning Baroque surroundings of St Mary le Strand. This intimate and atmospheric concert offers a rare chance to hear some of the most emotionally rich and expressive works in the Romantic piano repertoire.

Acclaimed concert pianist Yuki Negishi takes centre stage with a powerful programme that centres on the genius of Sergei Rachmaninov. Composed in the early 20th century, these works are a masterclass in musical storytelling—each prelude a vivid world of its own, ranging from hushed introspection to soaring virtuosity. The concert includes highlights from Op. 23 and Op. 32, as well as the beloved Prelude in C-sharp minor, the piece that catapulted Rachmaninov to international fame.

Complementing the programme is a selection of beautifully crafted miniatures by Anton Arensky and a moment of lyrical reflection in Rachmaninov’s Moment Musical Op. 16 No. 3—creating a richly textured evening of passion, depth, and dazzling pianism.

Whether you're a seasoned listener or new to the Romantic repertoire, this concert promises a moving and unforgettable experience in one of London’s most inspiring venues.
