Waltzes, polkas and Christmas classics performed live at St Mary Le Strand

Step into the candlelight as The Piccadilly Sinfonietta brings the sparkling sound of Vienna to the beautiful surroundings of St Mary Le Strand, with a programme packed with elegant waltzes, lively polkas and festive classical favourites.

Strauss gets things moving with the Die Fledermaus Overture and fast-paced Tritsch-Tratsch Polka before Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty Waltz sweeps into the programme. Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 5 adds another burst of energy to the evening.

Christmas gets its turn too with Tchaikovsky's much-loved Nutcracker Suite, before Strauss' famous Blue Danube Waltz rounds out a programme inspired by the glittering ballrooms of 19th-century Vienna.

Both the 17th and 28th December performances feature the same six-work programme performed by The Piccadilly Sinfonietta, so simply choose whether you want your Viennese Christmas fix before the big day or in that lovely bit between Christmas and New Year.

Whether you're already a classical music regular or you're looking for a festive London night out with a difference, settle into the candlelight and let The Piccadilly Sinfonietta take you to Vienna for an hour.
