Guide to Classical Music, Opera and Dance in London

Welcome to the eight edition of London Piano Festival, returning to Kings Place for four days of inspiring piano concerts by some of today’s leading artists. London Piano Festival 2023 will open with a concert devoted to the major two piano works of Rachmaninov, played by festival artistic directors Katya Apekisheva & Charles Owen. We look forward to welcoming long-standing friends together with new audiences for this feast of wonderful piano music!

The exciting young violinist Randall Goosby and the award-winning pianist Zhu Wang present a programme centring on works by three Black composers whose opus is enjoying a long-overdue resurgence of interest. First there’s Samuel Coleridge-Taylor with his early Suite, all about charm and lyricism. Then follow Dvořák's Sonatina and pieces from William Grant Still and Florence Price. The concert closes with Strauss' Violin Sonata.
