Chopin and Champagne at Christmas by Candlelight

Celebrate the festive season in style with a magical evening of Chopin’s most exquisite piano works, performed by the acclaimed pianist John-Paul Ekins, in the enchanting, candlelit setting of St James’s Church, Piccadilly.

This special Christmas concert offers the perfect escape from the winter rush—an immersive musical experience filled with poetic beauty, virtuosity, and emotional depth. From the haunting serenity of the Nocturnes, to the dazzling energy of the Polonaises, Ballades and Etudes, this beautifully curated programme is a tribute to Chopin’s enduring genius.

To begin your evening in festive fashion, a complimentary champagne reception will be served from 7:40pm, ahead of the 8:00pm performance. With an array of restaurants and bars nearby, it’s the ideal way to start your Christmas weekend in the heart of London.
