BENJAMIN GROSVENOR recital

Event information

Benjamin Grosvenor first came to prominence as the outstanding winner of the Keyboard Final of the 2004 BBC Young Musician Competition at the age of eleven. Since then, he has become an internationally regarded pianist performing concerti with orchestras including the London Philharmonic, Tokyo Symphony, and Brazilian Symphony in venues such as the Royal Festival Hall, Barbican, Muza Kawasaki and Carnegie Hall (at the age of thirteen).
In 2011, having just turned nineteen, Benjamin performed with the BBC Symphony Orchestra on the First Night of the BBC Proms to a sold-out Royal Albert Hall. His performance of Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 2 dazzled critics, with The Times commenting on ‘the clarity and poetry of his panache, the airy grace of his arpeggios, the lack of flash buckles and bows'.

He will play:

J.S. Bach - Partita No.4 in D major
Chopin - Sonata No.3 in B minor Op.58
Scriabin - Piano Sonata No.2 in G# minor Op.19
Rachmaninov - Etude tableau Op.39 No.5
Rachmaninov - Lilacs
Rachmaninov - Polka de W.R.
Ravel - Gaspard de la nuit
