Reception after the concert
After each recital we hold a buffet reception, with a glass of wine or tea or coffee. The artists attend this reception and it’s a great opportunity to meet the performers, talk to other members of the audience and make new friends.
Venues
London is unique in having some of the venues in which Chopin played still available and suitable for recitals – several much as they were when Chopin played in them. See photographs and descriptions of our attractive concert venues.
