Evening Concert Series: Rachmaninov by Candlelight - Warren Mailley-Smith

Experience an enchanting candlelit piano recital  within the awe-inspiring beauty of St Giles’ Cathedral, Edinburgh. This special evening offers a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich, passionate sound world of Sergei Rachmaninov in one of the city’s most atmospheric settings.

The programme features the dramatic Piano Sonata No. 2 in its revised version, alongside a selection from the celebrated Preludes Op. 23 — works that reveal the full expressive power of Rachmaninov’s writing, from moments of intimate reflection to sweeping virtuosity. The evening also includes Tchaikovsky’s evocative October from 'The Seasons' and the dazzling Flight of the Bumblebee in Rachmaninov’s thrilling arrangement of the Rimsky-Korsakov classic.

Performed by acclaimed concert pianist Warren Mailley-Smith, this promises to be an unforgettable evening of musical intensity, lyricism and virtuosity beneath the vaulted ceilings of one of Edinburgh’s most iconic landmarks.
