Classical Guitar by Candlelight
What it is
Experience an enchanting evening of classical guitar music in the gentle glow of candlelight, set within the breathtaking surroundings of St Mary Le Strand - a baroque jewel in the heart of London.
This intimate venue offers the perfect setting for a recital of warmth, refinement, and lyrical beauty.
Performed by acclaimed guitarist Amanda Cook, this evocative programme celebrates the extraordinary expressive range of the classical guitar, from the intricate elegance of Sylvius Leopold Weiss and the romantic virtuosity of Francisco Tárrega’s Capricho Árabe to the atmospheric beauty of John Dowland’s Fantasia and José Broca’s Fantasia.
From Renaissance dances and Spanish masterpieces to Scottish and Peruvian traditional music, each work reveals a different facet of the guitar’s colour, character and emotional depth, culminating in the warmth and familiarity of The Parting Glass.
