SOUTHBANK CENTRE

The International Piano Series offers a broad spectrum of music performed by artists ranging from the world’s most revered pianists to a number of young musicians who are appearing at Southbank Centre for the first time.

The recital programmes fascinate with their logic and imagination, whether it’s Stephen Hough placing Chopin in the context of French music, such as Fauré (who Chopin helped to inspire), Imogen Cooper continuing her exploration of Schubert’s complete piano works or Alexandre Tharaud alternating Couperin and Ravel. Schumann, whose bicentenary is rapidly approaching in 2010, is a key composer throughout the series, with several pianists performing his music.

Regular pianists taking part in this year’s series are Grigory Sokolov, Maurizio Pollini, Mitsuko Uchida and Stephen Kovacevich. Among those making their debuts are Jean-Effl am Bavouzet, Boris Giltburg, Alexandre Tharaud, Martin Helmchen, Kirill Gerstein and Yuja Wang, as well as the mercurial American scholar and fortepianist Robert Levin.
