Programme Note
‘A concert is an offering. It’s a wonderful opportunity to share – to celebrate music and the miracle of human creativity.’ Marc-André Hamelin
Described by The New York Times as a ‘performer of near-superhuman technical prowess’, Marc-André Hamelin is known worldwide for his unrivalled blend of consummate musicianship and brilliant technique. He performs Debussy's mercurial second book of Préludes, two shorter pianistic showpieces by Russian composer, Nikolai Medtner, and ends with Rachmaninov's monumental piano sonata, full of lush lyricism, gorgeous romantic themes and extreme technical challenges.
