Nikita and Friends with Grieg, Beethoven & Babajanian
Nikita’s outstanding performance in Shropshire last spring was followed by multiple live and studio recordings on BBC Radio 3. After extensive touring north of the border, he has marked himself out as one of the most exciting pianists based in Scotland.
Nikita returns south with an ensemble to give us Grieg’s Piano Concerto in an exceptionally beautiful arrangement for piano and string septet. The programme will include a trio by Armenian composer Arno Babajanian and Beethoven’s Sonata Pathétique.
Programme:
Babajanian -- Piano trio in F# minor
Beethoven -- Piano sonata No. 8 in C minor Op.13
Grieg -- Piano concerto in A minor Op.16
