Chopin, exiled from Poland, spent most of his life in Paris, where his piano writing proved a profound influence on the next generations of French composers. Pascal Roge, one of today's best-loved French pianists, links the worlds of Chopin, Debussy, Faure, Ravel and Poulenc in an original and enchanting programme.

'Rogé still plays with that clarity of texture and sense of momentum within stasis that Debussy surely intended' (Times).

Queen Elizabeth Hall at 6.15pm - Music in Sound - a pre-concert talk by Roy Howat. Admission free.
