World-class Chopin performed live this Christmas in Edinburgh
Step into the candlelight as acclaimed concert pianist Warren Mailley-Smith brings an evening dedicated entirely to Chopin to the spectacular surroundings of St Giles' Cathedral on Edinburgh's Royal Mile.
The programme moves from the drama of Ballade No. 1 and Scherzo No. 2 to quieter works including the Berceuse, Raindrop Prelude and Nocturne in B-flat minor, showing off plenty of different sides to Chopin's piano music in just one hour.
There's more to come with the bold 'Military' Polonaise in A major before two waltzes, in E minor and E-flat major, add another change of pace to this festive recital.
Warren Mailley-Smith is no stranger to Chopin. He became the first British pianist to perform Chopin's complete solo piano works from memory, making this a chance to hear the composer's music performed by a pianist with a serious Chopin track record.
Whether Chopin is already firmly on your playlist or you're looking for a different Christmas night out in Edinburgh, take your seat beneath the Gothic arches, settle into the candlelight and let the piano do the talking.
