| Benjamin Grosvenor | Piano |
The young British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor, described by The Independent as 'one in a million - several million', makes his debut in the International Piano Series with a concert based on the theme of dance.
Since winning the BBC Young Musician of the Year piano section aged 11, Grosvenor has enjoyed exceptional acclaim for the beauty and maturity of his performances. In 2011, aged 19, he became the youngest soloist ever to perform in the First Night of the Proms and Decca signed him to an exclusive recording contract.
Opening with Bach's Fourth Partita, filled with vivid Baroque dance rhythms, he continues with two sparkling Polonaises by Chopin. The second half focuses on the mazurka and the waltz, as evoked by composers from Russia, Spain and central Europe.
