SUMMARY:Steinway Series: Fuko Ishii
DESCRIPTION:Japanese pianist Fuko Ishii demonstrates why she was the winner of the 17th Grieg International Piano Competition in 2022. Praised for her sensitivity and colour\, she has put together an all-Grieg recital programme that highlights the composer’s variety: \nNorwegian Dances\, op.35\nBallade in G minor\, op.24 \n– Intermission – \nFrom Lyric Pieces:\nFolk Song\, op.12\, no.5\nAlbum Leaf\, op.12\, no.7\nSpring Dance\, op.47\, no.6\nScherzo\, op.54\, no.5\nPuck\, op.71 no.3\nVanished Days\, op.57 no.1\nTil Foråret\, op.43 no.6\nWedding Day at Troldhaugen\, op.65\, no.6 \nThat looks an interesting programme\, with the emotion of the Ballade in G minor set against the variety of the Lyric Pieces. She will be using a Dubai Opera Limited Edition Steinway piano.

SUMMARY:Maria Laura
DESCRIPTION:Maria Laura may be well established in Dubai\, but she’s originally from Cuba; and it shows in her passion for music – which covers multiple genres\, including pop\, RnB\, and soul.

SUMMARY:Anran Su
DESCRIPTION:Here’s a chance to watch the development of an extraordinarily gifted young musician: Dubai-based Anran Su is not yet ten years old 10\, but she is already being acclaimed as a prodigy of the piano (she’s not bad on the cello\, too\, by all accounts).  Her programme mixes crowd-pleasers with some technically demanding pieces: \nLiszt Les cloches de Genève\nRavel Sonatine for Piano\nBartok Romanian Folk Dances\nHaydn Sonata No.50 in D Major\nKhachaturian Toccata for piano\nChopin Nocturne in C sharp minor\nAlbeniz Rumores de la caleta\nTchaikovsky ‘Harvest’ from The Seasons\, Op. 37a\nHe Luting The Cowherd’s Flute

SUMMARY:Encore Presents: Benjamin Grosvenor
DESCRIPTION:Something of a coup for the Encore Presents series of recitals\, curated by Amira Fouad and presented with the Royal Grammar School Guildford Dubai: the stunning British piano virtuoso Benjamin Grosvenor has been accumulating accolades – from reviewers (“everything Grosvenor touches turns to gold”\, “a genius who has reached the height of his interpretive powers”) and in terms of awards: among others\, Grosvenor has been named Gramophone’s Young Artist of the Year\, won a Classical Brit Critics’ Award\, and has a Diapason d’Or Jeune Talent Award. He is internationally recognised for his electrifying performances\, his technical gifts\, a distinctive sound and what Süddeutsche Zeitung called “the unmistakable sense of poetic immersion directed solely at the realisation of music”. (He is also an Ambassador of Music Masters\, a charity dedicated to making music education accessible to all children regardless of their background\, championing diversity and inclusion.) Highly recommended\, even at this price … \nHis programme: \nBrahms\, Intermezzi op.117\nRavel\, Gaspard de la nuit\nMussorgsky\, Pictures at an Exhibition

SUMMARY:Steinway Concert Series: Illia Ovcharenko
DESCRIPTION:The young Ukrainian pianist Illia Ovcharenko is something of a must-see\, especially when he’s playing the Romantic repertoire – and most especially for his treatment of Liszt.
