'Pianoscapes' Term 2:
December 2018: Many thanks to all who came to listen and share for 'Term 2' (Pianoscapes 8-10), between October & December. Your open-mindedness and willingness to explore and travel with me made the concerts a real pleasure to do. A favourite comment from audience member - "A perfect hour in a parallel universe"...
Highlights for me include 'Tubular Bells' (Oldfield) and 'Variation 18' (Lloyd Webber) from #9 ; revisting 'Tea Stain' (a synth piece of mine from 1994); 'Take A Pebble' (ELP) and the lovely little Scarlatti sonata from #10.
The music continues in 2019. In #11 (January) I'll be playing music by Philip Glass, Frederick Chopin, Claude Debussy, Rosemary Duxbury and some of my own new pieces too. The cake will be as divine as always; come and let a little musical warmth into the heart of winter...
