Lunchtime Piano Recital

1/8/2018

I enjoyed giving a Piano Recital today, 1st August 2018 in St. Marks Church, Lower Hutt lunchtime concert series.
A programme of Haydn, Rachmaninov, Debussy and Ravel. An audience member requested that I play one of my own piano works as an encore, but none prepared. Will include a composition of mine in the next concert there. Possibly my Sonata No.2 'Spirits of our Age II' inspired by the Hieronimous Bosch painting - 'Christ Carrying the Cross'.

A lovely Bosendorfer

My wife and performance poet, Ingrid Prosser, is in the background. She introduced today's piano pieces and gave them an historic context, which the audience really appreciated.
