Add to my Calendar 23-02-2023 19:30 23-02-2023 21:30 36 Mahan Esfahani with Pupils of The Yehudi Menuhin School Mahan Esfahani has made it his life’s mission to rehabilitate the harpsichord in the mainstream of concert instruments, and to that end his creative programming and work in commissioning new works have drawn the attention of critics and audiences across the world. He was the first and only harpsichordist to be a BBC New Generation Artist (2008–10), a Borletti-Buitoni prize winner (2009), a nominee for Gramophone’s Artist of the Year (2014, 2015, and 2017) and the winner of the Wigmore Medal in 2022. His work for the harpsichord has resulted in recitals in most of the major series and concert halls, amongst them London’s Wigmore Hall and Barbican Centre and his richly-varied discography includes seven critically-acclaimed recordings for Hyperion and Deutsche Grammophon – garnering one Gramophone award and two BBC Music Magazine Awards. We are thrilled to be welcoming Mahan on stage with our pupils as YMS Associate Artist for what will be a truly unique and unforgettable concert. The Menuhin Hall, Cobham DD/MM/YYYY
