Jack Gibbons is renowned for his skills as a piano virtuoso, a composer of deeply moving and original music, and one of the finest interpreters of George Gershwin's piano music.

His concerts regularly receive standing ovations at New York's Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Centre in Washington and London's Queen Elizabeth Hall, where he has appeared annually for more than 16 years.

Now resident in the US, Gibbons' appearances in the UK outside of his annual Oxford Summer Piano Series are rare events.

The programme will include many of his famous authentic Gershwin recreations, culminating in his transcription from Gershwin's original piano roll recording of Rhapsody in Blue.

It will also include works by Chopin and Debussy, and two recent piano pieces of his own.
