Pianist Cordelia Williams performs a Chopin Nocturne and Ravel's 'Ondine' from 'Gaspard de la Nuit'. She will be making her debut with the London Mozart Players at St John's, Smith Square later this month.
Harpsichordist Laurence Cummings, musical director of the London Handel Players, directs the London Handel Festival celebrating the composer's life and works in various venues across the capital.
