Parham performs solo piano works including the lyrical Clair de lune and Rêverie and showpieces as Jardins sous la pluie and L’isle joyeuse.

Two other well-known actors, Juliet Stevenson and Henry Goodman, appear in Parham’s Chopin programme, Nocturne, at Kings Place, London (5 Oct) and Hertford Theatre (6 Oct).
