Concert pianist, Warren Mailley-Smith, recently became the first British pianist to perform the complete works of Chopin in one series of concerts, from memory.  He continues his successful monthly series at the exclusive 1901 Arts Club with another 9 programmes of Chopin's greatest masterpieces.  

The brilliant piano music of the great Frederic Chopin has never been out of fashion since it first burst onto the international scene in the early 19th century. This music wasn’t intended for the great concert halls of today, but for the intimate setting of Parisian and London Salons of the aristocracy. This was the setting where Chopin felt most at ease and improvised many of his works for the first time.
