“Ashley Fripp is a genuine virtuoso, an astoundingly brilliant and masterly pianist, and his total grasp of the music is a joy to hear” Thomas Adès, composer, pianist and conductor.
This concert will inaugurate the Steinway Model B Grand chosen for us a couple of months ago at Steinway's Hamburg factory by Steinway's Head of Artists' & Concert Servcies, Ulrich Gerhartz.
After the concert we offer a delicious finger buffet of freshly-made sandwiches, savouries and homemade cakes, with your choice of wine/tea/coffee or juice. Ashley will attend the buffet and you can meet him. Buffet tickets can be bought on the door and cost £6 or just £4 for students. We can cater for up to 75.
