Bach Violin Concertos at Christmas by Candlelight

Step into the warm glow of candlelight this festive season and experience the magic of Christmas through the timeless beauty of J.S. Bach’s music, performed in the spellbinding surroundings of St Mary le Strand—a hidden architectural gem in the heart of London.

This special concert features an all-Bach programme performed by the acclaimed Piccadilly Sinfonietta, with celebrated violinist Jenny Sacha. From the serene elegance of Air on the G String to the joyful energy of the Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 and the rich textures of the Double Violin Concerto, this evening promises a captivating journey through some of Bach’s most beloved masterpieces. Adding a festive flourish to the programme is Corelli’s enchanting Christmas Concerto—a baroque gem traditionally associated with the season, full of pastoral warmth and sacred beauty.

With over 200 performances each year, the Piccadilly Sinfonietta—featuring some of the UK’s most talented classical musicians—has become a cherished presence on the British concert scene, known for its sparkling interpretations of the baroque and early classical repertoire.
