★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 2,287 reviews · 1 hour · from $26Our pick

Spend one hour near St. John’s Cathedral hearing Chopin performed by a different pianist each day on a restored Pleyel concert piano.

“really gorgeous music in a nice space that feels very local and intimate. they were nice enough that when my child was getting antsy during the performance we could hear the concert outside in the garden, but it's summer and the weather is nice. note that the chairs are padded foldable chairs. this is a good snack sized concert that doesn't take itself too seriously.”

But phoned the local contact who very patiently managed to give us directions to the venue. The concert hadn’t started but we did miss the pre concert drinks. The pianist was fantastic playing a variety of pieces. I absolutely loved it.”
