Featuring Luke Jones (piano)

Programme W.A. Mozart - Sonata in D, K.311 Bach-Busoni - Chaconne in D minor, BWV 1004 L.V. Beethoven - Sonata in C, Op.53 'Waldstein'

" Luke Jones, who is one of the most remarkable, accomplished, and musically mature young pianists I've heard in a very long time, is a musician's musician. He is a good deal more than a pianist to watch; he is an abundantly imaginative virtuoso who puts his phenomenal technical and interpretive apparatus in the service of musical substance." - John Bell Young, pianist and former critic for the American Record Guide, Fanfare, Clavier, and the St Petersburg Times

He has performed with orchestras such as BBC National Orchestra of Wales, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Manchester Camerata, Orchestra of the Swan and Jove Orquestra Nacional de Catalunya and many others.
