"utterly faultless playing”  Gramophone
“tremendous panache and musical sensitivity”
BBC Music Magazine
“I haven’t heard playing from any recent pianist
that surpasses Roscoe’s” BBC Music Magazine
During his illustrious career, Martin Roscoe has become one of the UK’s most loved and respected pianists. With his extensive repertoire, consummate musicianship, and immediate rapport with audiences, he is in great demand as a concerto soloist, chamber musician, and recitalist.
A prolific recording artist, Martin is one of the most broadcast pianists on BBC radio. He has chosen a festive programme of walzes, polkas, mazurkas, and jigs for our 13th gala recital. Shall we dance?
As usual there will be a reception after the recital, when sparkling wine and delicious little chocolate pianos will be served!

This concert is not part of our Music Close Up season and is not subsidised. It is a special event which will showcase and celebrate our fine Bösendorfer concert-grand piano while permitting local audiences to hear internationally renowned musicians at remarkably close quarters and in a festive atmosphere.
A very special occasion indeed.
