Grieg with Amiri Harewood
Same Fabulous Concerto… Fresh New Face
Due to a scheduling change outside of his control, Martin James Bartlett is unable to perform the Grieg with us on 19 November, but he will be returning during the 2025/26 season.
But we are thrilled to welcome the multi-award-winning pianist Amiri Harewood in his place. Listen to what he has to say about the upcoming concert…
London based pianist Amiri Harewood currently studies at the Royal College of Music under the tutelage of Danny Driver. He holds of the Ann Driver Trust Scholarship, and is supported by the Victor Dandaleh Foundation.
Amiri is a Grand Prize winner of the Young Classical Artist Trust (UK) and Concert Artists Guild (US) International Auditions 2024, and is a regular performer throughout the UK and abroad, having already debuted at the Royal Festival Hall, Royal Albert Hall, St Martin-in-the-Fields and at the Venice Conservatorio.
Be inspired by this programme of great romance as we head to Scandinavia for an evening of artic wonder.
After Grieg’s ever-popular Piano Concerto – described by Rachmaninoff as ‘the greatest piano concerto ever written’, we head to the lakes and open expanses of Finland for Jean Sibelius’ sublime Fifth Symphony – a work filled with passion and beauty.
