Situated on the Strand, close to Somerset House and King’s College London, St Mary le Strand is one of central London’s finest examples of English Baroque architecture. Its distinctive silhouette, ornate exterior and richly decorated interior make it a striking landmark in the heart of the city. Once surrounded by busy traffic, the church now stands within a pedestrianised public space, offering a quieter setting amid the activity of the Strand and Aldwych. A Grade I listed building, St Mary le Strand remains both an active Church of England parish church and a cultural landmark. Its architectural distinction, fascinating history and varied musical programme make it a memorable destination for visitors exploring London’s historic Strand and a characterful setting for concerts in the city centre.

Overview

An intimate post-Christmas journey through grace, melancholy and serenity awaits.Step into the hush of a centuries-old baroque church, where flickering candles illuminate the solemn grandeur of vaulted arches.

Bach’s most beloved Cello Suites, each movement weaving a tapestry of grace, melancholy, strength and serenity. The rich wooden timbre of the cello resonates against stone walls steeped in history, inviting reflection and inspiration as bow meets string in a masterful display of Baroque expression.
