Two weeks of piano heaven at London's prestigious recital venue from some of the leading piano stars of today – including our current cover artist Saskia Giorgini
A major, two-week celebration of pianists and pianism commences at London's Wigmore Hall with a recital by the distinguished Peter Jablonski, who is succeeded by such luminaries as Yoav Levanon, Pavel Kolesnikov (both with and without his duo partner Samson Tsoy), Alim Beisembayev, Vijay Iyer, Javier Perianes, Angela Hewitt, Marouan Benabdallah, Jeneba Kanneh-Mason, Saskia Giorgini, Elisabeth Leonskaja, Can Çakmur and Clare Hammond.
Pianist current issue cover artist Saskia Giorgini (pictured below) plays a programme of Debussy, Liszt and Rachmaninov on 27 Sept.
Previous cover artist Jeneba Kaneh-Mason (issue 138 cover), performs works by Chopin, Scarlatti and Scriabin the day before - on 26 Sept.
Clare Hammond takes to the Wigmore Hall stage on 3 October with works by Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart, Clara Schumann and Fauré. Clare gives a lesson on Fauré's Nocturne No 8 inside the current issue, and she'll be performing the piece at her recital – so you can hear how it should be played!
