This intimate and architecturally impressive Baroque church has quickly become one of London’s most captivating concert venues, offering sublime acoustics along with the power and clarity of a brand-new Steinway concert grand piano.This year’s series celebrates one of the most evocative and emotionally charged achievements in the piano repertoire: Sergei Rachmaninoff’s 24 Preludes. Spanning every major and minor key, these works offer a sweeping portrait of the composer’s inner world—from thunderous drama and virtuosic brilliance to haunting lyricism and introspective beauty. Written across different periods of his life, the preludes reflect the full range of Rachmaninoff’s genius, and each concert in the series reveals a new facet of his profound musical voice.Whether you’re a seasoned concert-goer or discovering classical piano music for the first time, this is an evening not to be missed—set in one of London’s most atmospheric musical spaces, just steps away from some of the city’s finest restaurants and bars.FeaturingMadalina Rusu (piano)ProgrammeBeethoven Sonata op. 90 on E minorLiszt - Petrarca Sonet 104Schumann - 2 Fantasy pieces from Fantasiestűcke op. 12 (Des Abends/At Evening & Aufschwung/Soaring)Schumann/Liszt - WidmungBrahms Intermezzo op. 118 no. 2 in A majorRachmaninoff - Preludes (Op. 23 no. 4 in D & 5 in G min)Rachmaninoff - 2 Musical moments op. 16 (no. 1 in B flat minor and no. 4 in E minor)About Madalina RusuMadalina is an accomplished pianist whose performances are defined by passion, sensitivity, and a natural ability to connect with audiences.
