These two highly- LONDON acclaimed pianists have enjoyed extensive performing careers as PIANO soloists, chamber musicians and a widely admired duo partnership. Their shared love of the instrument has led them to curate this weekend FESTIVAL especially for the city’s many piano lovers. With such an enormously diverse, endlessly fascinating repertoire to choose from, the possibilities for exciting programming are endless. This wealth of choice will be reflected throughout the eight concerts that have been created for this inaugural festival. The music will range from Bach, Busoni and Rachmaninoff to Messiaen and Piazzolla. A particular highlight will be the world première of a new two-piano work by the American composer Nico Muhly. To present those works, Charles and Katya have brought together some of the world’s leading pianists.

At the heart of the festival, a wonderful group of players will explore the late nineteenth- and twentieth-century duo repertoire in a wide-ranging gala, including Stephen Kovacevich in his first Kings Place appearance.

We first met in the final of the BBC Young Musician Competition 2000 at the age of 19, read through some sonatas together later that year on a tour of the Middle East, and have since shared a stage in concert halls and festivals all over the world. We’ve covered a vast amount of duo repertoire along the way, as well as expanding into larger formations (most significantly the Aronowitz Ensemble), but inevitably there are certain pieces we’ve become especially attached to, and which have seemed particularly significant for us on our journeys through life.
