Internationally acclaimed pianist Artur Pizarro opened the season in January with a tour de force performance, presenting a thrilling programme featuring the works of Rachmaninov and Chopin to an almost sell-out audience. Following this in style on Sunday 5 February, the Pavão String Quartet, recognised as the most exciting string quartet in the UK, will present a varied programme, including works written by Britten, Haydn and Mendelssohn. This versatile ensemble is not only highly-regarded in classical concert venues, they have also enjoyed collaborations with renowned rock, pop and jazz artists, a contemporary dance company, and they have even recorded music for the X-Factor! Pianist Martin Roscoe will next grace the Old Swan’s stage with a programme of Schubert, Beethoven and Schumannon Sunday 19 February, followed by clarinettist Julian Bliss on Sunday 18 March, with a vibrant performance that will not fail to impress. The series will finally be brought to a triumphant close on Sunday 15 April with one of Britain’s foremost and best loved cellists, Paul Watkins.
