Chopin, candlelight and Champagne this Christmas in Edinburgh

Step into the candlelight as renowned concert pianist Warren Mailley-Smith brings an evening dedicated to Chopin to Edinburgh New Town Church, complete with a complimentary Champagne reception before the music begins.

The programme moves from the drama of Ballade No. 1 and Scherzo No. 2 to the quieter sound of the Berceuse, 'Raindrop' Prelude and Nocturne in B-flat minor, bringing plenty of different sides of Chopin's piano writing into one hour.

There's more to come with the bold 'Military' Polonaise before two waltzes change the pace again, including the brilliant Grande Valse Brillante in E-flat major.

Your evening begins with complimentary Champagne from 5:10pm before Warren Mailley-Smith takes to the piano at 5:30pm. With New Town's bars and restaurants close by, it's an easy one to build into your Christmas plans in Edinburgh.

Whether Chopin is already firmly on your playlist or you're looking for a different festive night out, settle into the candlelight, raise a glass and let the piano do the talking.
