This season, the Peter Gould Music Trust is celebrating the 15th Anniversary of its Steinway Model C Grand Piano. Over the course of four recitals, they will be presenting bright and talented young musicians who will showcase their Steinway piano at its best, and will be kicking of the celebrations with Luka Okros. Georgian born Luka finished his studies in London with a Master’s Degree at the Royal College of Music in 2013. He then went on to win many prizes culminating with first prize at the Hannover Chopin International Piano Competition in 2017.  This year he is performing internationally in Austria, Romania, India, Hong Kong and throughout Asia. Luka will be joining us to play a programme that celebrates all that is best about the sound of the piano with Schubert’s Impromptus, Op 90, probably his best known music for the keyboard.  He will then play Chopin’s monumental fourth Ballade (Op 54).  The concert will end with Rachmaninov’s six Moments Musicaux (Op 16) which are among the greatest works of late Romantic piano music combining strength and sonority with tenderness and beauty.
