Russian pianist Dmitri Alexeev is one of the world’s most highly regarded artists.  His critically praised recitals on the world’s leading concert stages and his concert appearances with the most prestigious orchestras have secured his position as one of “the most remarkable pianists of the day”  (Daily Telegraph).

Nikolai Demidenko has regretfully had to withdraw from this performance because of injury.  We are extremely grateful to Vitaly Pisarenko, Jun Lin Wu and Thomas Kelly, three of Dmitri Alexeev’s outstanding students (past and present) who have agreed to perform at this late stage with Dmitri Alexeev.  The programme will remain the same.
