Rachmaninoff: Complete works for cello and piano by candlelight

✨ We invite you to enjoy the masterpieces of Sergei Rachmaninoff in Kensington United Reformed Church, located in the heart of the royal borough of Kensington and Chelsea! An intimate candlelit evening is devoted to the deep soul and soaring passion of Sergei Rachmaninoff. The warm, human voice of the cello entwines with the piano’s thunder and tenderness, revealing every shade of the composer’s romantic world. Lighted by a flicker of hundreds of candles, this chamber concert offers a fresh way to enjoy iconic pieces. The concert organisers are the creative agency RED EVENTS & Distribution Ltd, which creates exceptional cultural events in ancient mansions, on rooftops, in greenhouses, and in other atmospheric venues throughout the United Kingdom, Europe, and other countries. Also in the repertoire – a collection of concerts by candlelight and with complete immersion in the space of video art and sound.
