Event information

London-based Australian pianist Piers Lane is one of the most inquisitive and engaging live performers of his generation. In great demand as soloist and collaborative artist, recent highlights include a performance of Busoni's mighty piano concerto at Carnegie Hall, premieres of Carl Vine's second Piano Concerto, written for him, with the Sydney Symphony and the London Philharmonic, and a sold-out performance of Chopin's complete Nocturnes at Wigmore Hall.

He will play an all-Chopin programme as follows:

Impromptu No 1 in A flat major Op 29
Fantasie in F minor Op 49
Etude in E major Op 10 No 3 "Tristesse"
Ballade No 3 in A flat major Op 47
Polonaise in F sharp minor
Scherzo No 4 in E major Op 54
Nocturnes Op 62 No. 1 in B major and No 2 in E major
Mazurka Op 17 No 4
Barcarolle Op 60

After the recital we offer an informal finger buffet Reception with freshly-made sandwiches, warm savouries and homemade cakes, accompanied by your choice of tea, coffee, juice or wine. Piers Lane will attend the reception and you can meet him. Tickets for this are: £7 (standard), £5 (students and schoolchildren).

Our piano is a new Steinway Model B Grand, tuned immediately before each concert by Steinways.
