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"

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.
