Hi all,

Just thought you might like to know about the International Piano Series which kicks off at the Queen Elizabeth Hall at 7.30pm on 13/10/09 with a performance by Simon Trpceski. He will be celebrating two of this seasons most important composer anniversaries – Chopin and Haydn. Tickets start at £9 and can be booked here: http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/festiv ... /ips-09-10.

“Trpceski is the real deal. A pianistic talent in a thousand.” (The Times)


If you would like more info about this series then please visit our website: http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/piano/. In the coming months there will also be performances at the Southbank Centre from Cristina Ortiz, Huseyin Sermet, and Andreas Haefliger and a host of other exciting artists through to June next year.

Hope you can make it!

I didn't know that 2009 is a Chopin anniversary, and actually it isn't, but 2010 will be his 200th birthday. Hey, I can remember the celebrations of Mozart's 200th birthday. Can it be that the archetypal Classicist and archetypal Romantic poet of the piano were born within a Francis lifetime of each other? It can, and they were.
