For those who appreciate classical music, this upcoming candlelight concert is an incredible chance to hear the compositions of Frédéric Chopin performed live. The concert will take place on the 20th of April at 6:30pm and 8:30pm at the breathtaking St John’s Cathedral.
Chopin is often referred to as one of the greatest composers of the Romantic era, and his music continues to be admired all over the world. He was a master of the piano, and his compositions were seen as groundbreaking in both their technical and emotional complexity. His music is known for its intricate finger work, as well as being deeply emotional and expressive, and it pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible on the piano at the time. Even today, over 170 years later, his work is still seen as some of the best piano compositions.
Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Chopin’s music illuminated by the gentle glow of candlelight.
Featuring the talented and accomplished pianist Daniel Le, the program for the evening is set to include some of Chopin’s most famous works.
