James Lisney’s acclaimed …petits concerts return with a series of recitals raising money for a variety of charities. The title is taken from the annual series of recitals given by Charles-Valentin Alkan at the Erard showroom in Paris during the 1870s.
All proceeds are going to The Amber Trust, a charity which provides musical opportunities for blind and partially sighted children, and children with more complex needs, via its Music Awards and Music Services.

"I have nothing but praise for James Lisney's piano playing; he combines velvet touch and wide range of colour with complete understanding of phrasing and dynamic shading. This is someone who can really give the mechanical box of wires and wood a singing soul" - The Telegraph
