Summer Moods 2010

Friday 2nd July, 7:30pm, Cadogan Hall
Sunday 4th July, 6pm, Cadogan Hall

Well, at last I think we have seen the end of this year’s hard winter weather! Hopefully we will have a lovely warm summer and to celebrate I am holding two concerts in London — one on Friday 2nd July and one on Sunday 4th July.

I really enjoyed my Valentine’s Concert earlier this year — playing with the world renowned English Chamber Orchestra. They provided a wonderful warmth and depth to some of my favourite classical music pieces. To celebrate summer, I shall play with a smaller group of young musicians; creating a different sound — one that should be both exciting and up lifting. Alongside Maciej Janas on piano, will be Milos Milivojevic on accordion, Corentin Chassard on cello and from Japan I will be introducing another great talent — Toru Nishijima on contrabass.

As you know, I love playing Brahms and will be playing his Sonata No. 2 in A major Op. 100 to start. After the interval, we will have fun with some well-loved, summery pieces, including Dvorak’s Sonata in G major Op.100, Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No.2. I shall also play some of my compositions.

Cadogan Hall is a wonderful venue for my concerts, with fantastic acoustics and a size that is perfect; intimate and friendly. Some of you who have been to my previous concerts have seen families in the audience. I have scheduled a concert on Sunday, at a slightly earlier time, to allow you with children to come along — I think it is the perfect place for children to start to appreciate live music.

Hope to see you there!
