Paul Kilbey, 12th October

Bathed in a wash of soft blue light, St John’s Smith Square was home to a remarkable concert on Friday night with the Smith Quartet presenting all five of Philip Glass’ string quartets.

Yuja Wang dompte Rautavaara et Ravel à Bozar

Patrice Lieberman, 20th March

Au concert inaugural du Klarafestival 2026, la pianiste chinoise a alterné avec justesse pianisme athlétique et jeu mystérieux, volant la vedette à un Esa-Pekka Salonen en retrait.
