Masterworks of piano music in Leominster

1:40pm Thursday 18th September 2008

PIANIST Duncan Honeybourne brings Masterworks of Piano Music to Leominster’s Lion Ballroom in a series of seven recitals, the first of which takes place on Sunday.

Duncan designed the series to chart an exciting voyage through four centuries of keyboard music and to highlight some of the most profound masterpieces of the piano repertoire.

In spite of having been conceived as a journey, says Duncan, the recitals can be enjoyed singly and the series dipped into at will rather than listened to as an academically-driven, chronologically arranged sequence.

Composers represented include Bach, Haydn, Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin and Brahms and feature many of the most visionary masterpieces of keyboard literature with piano music from the contemporary repertoire also included.

Sunday’s recital features Chopin’s Scherzo in B minor, Bach’s Partita no 1 in B flat and Brahms’ Sonata in F minor, op 5. The other six recitals are on October 26, November 23, December 14, January 25, 2009, March 15, 2009 and April 26, 2009.
