Described as a “very fine pianist .... with an immaculate sense of style and perfect musical timing" by Gramophone, the multi-award-winning pianist Kyoko Hashimoto presents this fascinating programme traversing two centuries of mesmerising piano flair. Beginning with evocative preludes by three French masters, Hashimoto moves on to the celestial meditations of Takemitsu, Boulez’s twelve 12-bar Notations, ending with the melancholy and solemn heartbreak of Szymanowski and Scriabin.

The distinguished English pianist Paul Lewis returns in this solo recital at the Singapore International Piano Festival. Famed for his interpretations of the Beethoven Piano Sonatas, Lewis performs Nos. 5 and 32, two masterpieces separated by some 25 years, both brimming with the sublime and astonishing genius of the composer. Brahms's wistful Op. 117 Intermezzi takes its turn beside the Piano Sonata by notable Austrian composer Thomas Larcher, whose music Lewis champions across the world.

Celebrated for his lifelong dedication to Mozart’s music, American pianist Robert Levin presents a unique all-Mozart programme true to his improvisatory wit and wisdom – with a difference: you get to be involved.
Experience a piano recital that a late 18th-century audience would have expected, in which a series of larger pieces are connected meaningfully through modulating preludes. To up the game, you will be invited during the intermission to submit themes on the spot, with which Levin will improvise upon as part of this musical narrative. Make Mozart and Nannerl proud!
