Cancelled: Steven Osborne (piano)

We very much regret that this concert has been cancelled, in line with government guidelines. We hope to re-schedule in due course.

To conclude another outstanding series, we welcome pianist Steven Osborne. Steven is one of Britain’s most treasured musicians whose insightful and idiomatic interpretations of diverse repertoire show great musical depth. His numerous awards include The Royal Philharmonic Society Instrumentalist of the Year and two Gramophone Awards. He will play some of the finest works by two giants of the keyboard: Schubert and Rachmaninov.

"Osborne's playing sought colour and texture above display or drama, but not at their expense…." Guardian
"…his sensitive, exquisitely blended and balanced playing almost goes without saying…" Scotsman
"…Vast technical command is balanced by penetrating insight and an expressivity that seems to derive from a more than usually empathetic instinct for the nature of the composers…" Guardian
"Some pianists gild everything they touch with their own personality; some are like chameleons, finding a new colour for each composer. Last night the wonderful Scottish pianist Steven Osborne did both, which lent the whole evening a miraculous air… every note seemed to vibrate with intelligence."
