Mei-Ting and Friends at St Michael & All Angels, Barnes

On September 24th we launch a brand new series of solo piano and chamber music concerts at the architect-designed community centre at St Michael & All Angels church close to Barnes riverside.

Curated by Mei-Ting, “bewitching” concert pianist and Professor of Piano at London’s Royal Academy of Music who has wowed 7 Star Arts audiences with his performances, the series opens with a recital by Mei-Ting himself, playing Schumann and Brahms. Future concerts feature recent graduates and current star students from the Royal Academy – Leon Chen (piano) Yanyan Lin (cello) and Katya Grabova (piano) – and Dutch-Chinese collaborative pianist Michelle Chow. Programmes include music by Beethoven, Schumann, Rachmaninoff, Ravel and Chopin and proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the Royal Academy of Music’s hardship fund to support young musicians with limited means.

We hope you will join us at these concerts.

Mei-Ting

Mei-Ting plays Beethoven & Bartok SOLD OUT

International concert pianist Mei-Ting has wowed our audiences with his performances of music by J S Bach and Art Tatum, and we are delighted to present a recital piano music by Beethoven and Bartok.
Described as “bewitching” (Boston Globe) and “stunningly fluid” (New York Times), acclaimed pianist Mei-Ting Sun began his life on the concert stage at the prestigious Spring of Shanghai Festival in 1986 when he was just 5 years old. At 9, he left Shanghai for New York and eventually received Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Mannes College of Music, and a Doctorate from the Juilliard School.

Mei-Ting has won numerous awards and has been heard in recital across the globe. His career has led him to performances in 19 countries through five continents. He is currently on the teaching faculty of the Royal Academy of Music.

Tickets £15
