Valentines Moonlight Sonata by Candlelight

Celebrate Valentine’s night with an unforgettable evening of music in the stunning, candlelit setting of Sheffield Cathedral. This special concert features an exquisite programme of romantic piano masterpieces, performed by acclaimed concert pianist Luke Jones, renowned for his expressive touch and captivating artistry.

This exceptional programme weaves together some of the most poetic and beloved works in the piano repertoire—from the dreamy elegance of Debussy’s Clair de Lune and the serene simplicity of Satie’s Gymnopédie No. 1, to the profound lyricism of Schubert’s Impromptu in G-flat major. At its emotional core lies Beethoven’s iconic Moonlight Sonata, a timeless expression of intimacy and intensity. Liszt’s Liebestraum No. 3 brings a touch of romantic passion, while Chopin’s Ballade No. 4 and selected Preludes explore the full range of the piano’s expressive power.
