‘Described by The Times as ‘a wonderful inspiration for and champion
of new music’, Sarah returns to her home town for a charity concert
mixing old and new music.
This will be a lively, varied and innovative virtuosic recital, with
studies and preludes by Chopin, Rachmaninov, Debussy and Gyorgy
Ligeti alongside other contemporary works by Richard Causton,
Johannes Maria Staud and Jonathan Cole.
Admission Free, in aid of the Stroke Association
Sarah is currently researching music
using live electronics with her trio Alexander’s Annexe: a
collaboration with David Sheppard and Mira Calix. Their aim is to
incorporate the sonority, beauty, physical energy and impact of live
piano performance into a larger scale feast for the ears through the
use of live and pre-composed electronics. The trio have performed
in FUSELeeds, IF Festival, Sonorities Festival in Belfast ,
Transmedial in Berlin and the Parco della Musica in Rome .
Their first album was released on WARP
Records last year.

There will be a celebration of Grieg’s piano music by playing
solos and duets. We hope as many as possible will come and
participate. It will be good to hear any of his repertoire, both
his miniatures and his grand works especially pieces you have
found useful for teaching.
