Julian Jacobson: My Funny Valentine

Pull out all the stops and treat your partner to an intimate, candlelit and romantic recital with champagne at the stunning St James's Piccadilly. Julian Jacobson, one of Britain's most talented and entertaining pianists, returns to Wren's architectural wonder for the eighth successive year on Valentine's Day. This "stylish and enchanting" (The Guardian) sell-out concert will also showcase prize-winning Chinese guest artist Meng Yang Pan since Chinese New Year also falls on February 14th. Featuring a beautiful programme of piano music - including Rachmaninov, Mozart, Chopin, Brahms, Schubert, Schumann and Gershwin - this is the event for Valentine's evening right in the heart of London. An early finish leaves you time for dinner out in Mayfair or the West End - or you can take advantage of a special dinner package with the nearby Italian restaurant Getti or the Cavendish Hotel.
COMPETITION: We have two pairs of tickets to give out to a couple of lucky lovebirds for this event. Just tell us who composed A Foggy Day In London Town. Email your answer to competitions@londontown.com by midday on Friday 5th February with "My Funny Valentine" in the subject line. Good luck!
