Piano Recital at Chichester Cathedrat


Earlier this year I was fortunate enough to be invited to give a recital at Chichester Cathedral, of which the performance took place on Tuesday. The concert was well attended, and I was encouraged to see a number of familiar faces from students and colleagues. My fellow pianist Huw Griffiths was kind enough to record ad edit the event, which you can view above.

I was also pleasantly surprised and gratified to receive a generous review from local music website Music in Portsmouth afterwards. You can read it and find out about forthcoming events in the area by following the link below.

I never tire of, or apologize for, advertising the high standard of Chichester’s lunchtime musicians and Christopher was every bit as good. Some of us regulars there could be excused for taking all that for granted but we don’t and we keep on going back.
