About the show
Described as a “pianist and musician of the highest calibre” and commended for the “electrifying energy” of his performance Rupert Egerton-Smith’s path to becoming a concert pianist defies convention.
He did not formally study the piano beyond school and largely stopped playing for ten years as he built a career as a strategy consultant.Rediscovering his early recordings, he entered and then won several competitions, including the Bradshaw & Buono International which led to a performance in New York’s Carnegie Hall.
“Heartlands” presents core piano repertoire of particular significance Egerton-Smith; bookended by Busoni’s monumental arrangement of Bach’s 2nd Partita for solo violin and Balakirev’s ‘Islamey’, also based around a violin theme.
Passionate about innovative and themed programming in his solo work, Rupert Egerton-Smith creates a unique musical experience for audiences through narrated performance, describing and contextualising pieces as well as performing them.
Advance tickets £20. Under-18 £5. On the door £23.
Licensed bar. Doors open 6:45pm. Concert starts at 7:30pm
