Programme Note
The world’s largest subterranean skate park – Source in Hastings – normally resounds to an eclectic mix of rock, punk and hip hop, but on Tuesday 14thFebruary, freestyle BMXers and skateboarders will be able to hear some talented young pianists killing it on the keyboard of a grand piano while they shred the vert.
Challenging the received notion that classical music is the preserve of middle-aged and middle class people, HIPCC is reaching out to a new audience by creating an innovative partnership with the popular skate and BMX park.
The piano is generously donated by Sussex Pianos.
Appropriately, on St Valentines’ Day, we plan to create a very special connection between the two, hitherto disparate groups of young performers. Source will provide a stunning backdrop to a unique and free recital by concert pianist and a former HIPCC winner, Alexander Panfilov, to visitors at the seafront facility at 6pm and 8pm.
Between 10am and 10pm the piano be available for all comers to play-please email info@hastingsconcertocompetition.co.uk to book a slot or just turn up and play.
