About The Event

We are delighted to welcome back Edward Harris-Brown to perform as part of our recital series. Last year he wowed us with his jazz trio and now we get to see a whole different side of his phenomenal talents. This time it will be an evening of solo 'classical' piano music with a programme featuring Chopin’s dramatic Sonata No. 2, Ravel’s evocative La Valse, and works by Valentin Silvestrov, alongside Harris-Brown’s own Piano Sonata (2025).

This free recital begins at 18:30 and lasts approximately one hour.
