Award-winning pianist Warren Mailley-Smith returns to St James's Piccadilly for a special Champagne Christmas recital by candlelight. Featuring a stunning virtuoso programme of solo piano music, the temperature will raise the roof as Mailley-Smith will also perform Tom Hodge's brilliant Variations on a theme of Paganini in a world premiere.

Champagne will be served during a 30 minute interval in the magnificent setting of St James's, right in the heart of London.Programme
