Piano

We’ve invited some of the top pianists of our time to perform with us in our 80th birthday season. Víkingur Ólafsson, our Featured Artist, opens the season with Beethoven, gives the UK premiere of the concerto John Adams wrote for him, and leads a tribute to Kurtág. Evegeny Kissin is the soloist in an extraordinary programme of three concertos. Fazıl Say plays his own concerto ‘Mother Earth’. And there’s the chance to hear Frank Dupree, Kenis Kozhukhin, Bruce Liu and Benjamin Grosvenor too
