Event information

The Romantic Piano

“This programme combines beloved works by some of the Romantic era’s greatest pianist-composers with stories of romance and heartbreak, from Romeo and Juliet to the Greek myth of Hero and Leander, from love song arrangements by Clara and Robert Schumann to more contemporary takes on love and loss.

As I turn 40 this year, I have also included music that has played an important part in my musical life, from my childhood through to the present day, and composers with whom I have a special connection.”

Fryderyk Chopin: Nocturne in E flat major op.9 no.2

Sergei Prokofiev: Romeo & Juliet Suite op.75
