St George’s Hall, Liverpool . This is just the place to put down your last-minute Christmas shopping, gather your thoughts, and renew your emotional energy.
The Piccadilly Sinfonietta is one of the UK’s most exciting young ensembles. For their Liverpool debut they will be performing a selection of well-loved classics including the seasonal Christmas Concerto by Corelli and Vivaldi’s exquisite Winter, from The Four Seasons.
The concert features breathtaking feats of virtuosity from the sensational violinist, Martyn Jackson, and the virtuoso concert pianist Warren Mailley-Smith in a performance of Mozart’s sublime Piano Concerto No 21 in C major.
Mailley-Smith has played many times for the Royal Family, has performed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, at Carnegie Hall in New York and the Wigmore Hall in London.
