Young Artist Recital - Edward Warner (piano)

Edward Warner brings a piano recital to The Multi-Faith Centre at the University of Derby on Sunday 14 February 2027. It's presented by the Derby Chamber Music Society as part of their season of concerts, so it's one of several they've got lined up across the city.

Warner is a young pianist who started serious study at fourteen. His playing has been described as having wide contrasts of tone colour and an impressive sense of drama, with a seemingly effortless agility and elegance and serenity. In 2021 he was awarded the Trinity-Steinway scholarship, which took him on to performances across the UK and abroad, including recitals at Steinway Hall, the Legnica Culture Centre in Poland and Palazzo Cavagnis in Venice.

He doesn't just play other people's music, though. He's also interested in composition and improvisation, and his orchestral work Paysage-Tableaux was premiered by the London Mozart Players. That composer's side of things sits alongside the recital work, and this afternoon in Derby is the latter taking centre stage.

The recital is at The Multi-Faith Centre, University of Derby, Kedleston Road, Derby, DE22 1GB. Doors open at 3:30pm and the music starts at 4:00pm, so it's a matinee rather than an evening affair. Tickets are £22.00.
