On 29 January 2026, acclaimed pianist Alexandra Dariescu performs at Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre. The programme culminates in a piano version of Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s beloved Nutcracker Suite.

Designed as a journey through musical eras and cultures, the first half brings together works by Johann Sebastian Bach and composers of the 20th and 21st centuries. Dariescu gives special attention to underrepresented female composers, including Missy Mazzoli, Florence Price and Lili Boulanger.

The second half features the iconic melodies of The Nutcracker, including the Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy. A warm and accessible concert suitable for audiences aged 7+.
