Viv McLean live in London

Experience Viv McLean live on June 24th

Viv McLean will perform at St Giles’ Cripplegate in London on June 24, 2026. McLean is a British pianist known for his interpretations of Romantic and early 20th-century repertoire, with a particular focus on the works of composers like Rachmaninoff, Chopin, and Medtner. His playing is frequently described as possessing both technical brilliance and emotional depth, often highlighting the lyrical qualities within technically demanding pieces. He has gained recognition for championing lesser-known composers alongside established masters.

St Giles’ Cripplegate is a historic parish church located in the City of London. Originally founded in 1310, the current building largely dates from the mid-14th century, though it underwent significant restoration by Sir Christopher Wren following damage during the Great Fire of London in 1666. The church is notable for its association with Oliver Cromwell; he was appointed Church Warden in 1650 and regularly attended services there. It survived the Blitz during World War II relatively unscathed, becoming a symbol of resilience amidst widespread destruction. The church continues to function as a place of worship while also serving as a concert venue due to its excellent acoustics and historical significance.
