Classical brilliance, jazzy rhythms and one seriously varied evening at the piano

Why choose between classical and jazz when you can have both? Jazz Meets Classical by Candlelight brings the two worlds together inside the beautiful St Mary le Strand, with internationally acclaimed pianist Maiko Mori taking to the piano for an evening that moves between classical, jazz and contemporary styles.

The programme shows just how much one piano can do. Hear the virtuoso energy of Hiromi Uehara's Spectrum alongside the jazz-influenced music of Alexander Rosenblatt and Nikolai Kapustin, before Piazzolla brings the unmistakable rhythms of Oblivion and Libertango into the mix.

There are familiar melodies too. Maiko Mori performs Danny Boy in an arrangement by Keith Jarrett, before taking on Gershwin's iconic Rhapsody in Blue. Benyamin Nuss' Anata No Mama De Daijoubu, or You Are Okay As You Are, adds another contemporary voice to this wide-ranging programme.

From dazzling technique to quieter moments, Jazz Meets Classical by Candlelight isn't interested in sticking to one musical lane. Take your seat beneath the candlelight and hear Maiko Mori move between styles, rhythms and composers over the course of an hour.
