"A perfect hour in a parallel universe"...
"Special & poignant"... "So eclectic and engaging, great concert"
A monthly feast of soul-food since Sept 2017,
'Pianoscapes' continues to unite wide-ranging repertoire with music-hungry listeners.
"Great concert on Sunday, moved to tears... can't remember when that happened before!"
"The hour of relaxation and beautiful music was so lovely on Sunday that I had my best night's sleep in months"
"These concerts are beautiful, and a real education... do go along if you can."

A 'Pianoscapes' concert is a 60-minute sonic odyssey taking in an eclectic mix of music from across the centuries, with a healthy disregard for genre boundaries or musical conventions. Using piano, synths, loops, oracle cards, tea & cake, every concert programme is different: a carefully-constructed sequence of music designed to transport the listener to a higher plane
(and to keep me expanding my repertoire ever further!).
In 2020 we moved online, from March through to July; the 3 live concerts at St Andrew's Centre in September, November & December were all sold out and were a joy to present -
"I just wanted to thank you for such an uplifting and enjoyable event. I hadn't appreciated just how much I have missed hearing music performed live. It has nourished my soul!"
and then back online from January to July 2021
(from Craycombe Pianos, Pershore, and The Elgar School of Music,Worcester)...
and here we are.
Pianoscapes #40 will take place in Pershore on 5th September.
