City of Sounds: From Bach to Berio - A Farewell Celebration of Piano Music Across the Centuries
City of Sounds Festival
£10 (£8) (£3, BCU students)
Join us for a whistle stop tour of some of the greatest composers of piano music heard in the Adrian Boult Hall over the last 30 years. Performances will be given by a wide range of our students from undergraduates embarking on their careers to those on the Advanced Postgraduate Diploma who are already undertaking professional engagements. This chronological experience of keyboard music counts down to the recent past, as we celebrate the hall and the pianists and composers that have graced its stage.
