LMP’s Piano Explored lunchtime concert series at St John’s Smith Square has become a firm favourite with concert-goers. In just one hour, virtuoso pianist Howard Shelley OBE gives a witty and insightful introduction to one or two famous and not-so-famous works for piano and orchestra, before performing them with LMP.
For this series, Howard will perform some of the best loved virtuosic classics of Mozart and Shostakovich, some lesser known works by Saint-Saëns and Mendelssohn, and a couple of relatively unknown pieces by Hummel and Moscheles that deserve a wider audience. Each equally brilliant work is a showcase for a virtuoso pianist, and Howard and the LMP look forward to bringing them to life for you in this series of perfectly pitched lunch-hour concerts.
NEW for 2021, the first four concerts are being filmed for an online audience, and the films will be released shortly after the live concerts. You’ll be able to buy tickets and watch the films via this website. More information coming soon!
