Located in the heart of Covent Garden, just off the famous piazza, St Paul’s Church is one of London’s most distinctive historic buildings. Designed by the celebrated architect Inigo Jones, it is admired for its elegant classical proportions and monumental portico. The church is also widely known as the Actors’ Church, reflecting its centuries-long association with the theatrical world of London’s West End. With its distinguished architecture, theatrical heritage and varied programme of music and performance, St Paul’s Covent Garden offers a venue with a character quite unlike that of a conventional concert hall. Its combination of historic surroundings, cultural associations and intimate garden setting makes it a memorable destination in London’s West End.

Programme
Overview
Experience the serene beauty of Bach’s Cello Suites in a candlelit baroque sanctuary. Let the pure voice of the cello transport you on a journey of grace, melancholy, and serenity.Step into the hushed grandeur of an intimate baroque church, where warm candlelight dances across sculpted stone and soaring arches. Here, acclaimed cellist Wallis Power presents three of Bach’s most beloved Cello Suites, each movement a journey through introspective adagio, spirited allegro, and transcendent serenity. The resonant voice of the unaccompanied cello fills the vaulted nave with its rich timbres, drawing listeners into a contemplation of grace, melancholy, and strength. In the quiet between each suite, the hush of the sanctuary invites reflection, as the delicate interplay of gut strings and expressive bowing reveals new depths in every phrase. Emerge afterward to the promise of convivial gatherings just beyond the church doors, where nearby eateries and bars await for post-concert conversation and delight.
