Celebrate the festive season in the radiant glow of candlelight with a dazzling evening dedicated to the genius of J.S. Bach, performed in the breathtakingly beautiful St Mary le Strand — one of London’s hidden baroque gems.

At the heart of this special Christmas concert are two of J.S.Bach’s most brilliant and exhilarating works: the Brandenburg Concertos No. 3 and No. 4. These vibrant, virtuosic masterpieces overflow with festive energy and joyful complexity — a perfect match for the spirit of the season.

They are joined by other beloved gems from the Bach repertoire, including the serene Air on the G String and the lyrical Violin Concerto in E major, performed by celebrated violinist Laura Rickard. To complete the evening, the programme includes Corelli’s much-loved Christmas Concerto — a tender and pastoral work long associated with the sacred beauty of the nativity.

With over 200 performances each year, The Piccadilly Sinfonietta has become a much-loved fixture on the UK classical scene, acclaimed for its spirited interpretations and exceptional musicianship. Wrap yourself in the joy and brilliance of the baroque this Christmas, and let the Brandenburgs shine in a setting of candlelight and architectural splendour!
