2015 April - July Piano Programmes
Monday lunchtime Piano recitals
Our Monday lunchtime piano recitals have run for more than three decades now and we are proud that we have a particularly interesting piano for our artists to play, a fine Steinway Concert Grand Piano. Built in 1926, it was previously one of Steinway’s concert hire fleet with the number 967Y. It then had various owners, the most famous being was Sir Thomas Beecham.
We have continued to ensure that we offer opportunities for young musicians at the beginning of their careers. In this series there are three Prizewinners of the Worshipful Company of Musicians (WCM) playing as part of our joint Scheme. We also look forward to welcoming Samson Tsoy (who has played previously in the WCM scheme) with Pavel Kolesnikov (currently a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist) to play four hands on 20th April. We also have the return of some old friends, particularly Tessa Uys and Anna Le Hair, who as well as being wonderful pianists, are part of the group that organise our piano recital series.
Admission is free, but the expenses of our music ministry are considerable. We are most grateful for your generosity in the retiring collection.
