Programme Note
A welcome return to Conway Hall for our Director of Music’s ensemble, the London Piano Quartet. Their two year exploration of the Brahms piano quartets concludes with his final essay in the genre, nicknamed the ‘Werther’. Forming a British first half, they showcase the youthful piano quartet by Walton, written when he was just 16, and give the world premiere of John Hawkins’ ‘Blake Visions’, composed specially for the occasion.
“Clearly a musician of curiosity and discernment, Callaghan’s robust piano-playing is also thoughtful, subtle and refined. I look forward to hearing whatever he does next.” —- Gramophone on Simon Callaghan
