Join us for an afternoon of piano classics with acclaimed pianist Martin James Bartlett, hailed by Nice Matin as ‘not only a prodigy of the piano but an accomplished artist who counts among the greats of his generation’.

Highlights include works by Gershwin and Ravel, brought to life with profound drama and passion. Martin will introduce the repertoire from the stage, making this an engaging experience for all, whether you’re familiar with the classics or new to them.
