Piano Day 2022

We’re excited to be joining the Piano Day celebrations – an annual worldwide event taking place on the 88th day of the year to correspond to the number of keys on the instrument – to bring you the next in our series hosting Brudenell Piano Sessions. Featuring an outstanding line-up of varied piano music created here in Yorkshire and elsewhere in the UK, hosted and curated by Leeds-based pianist and composer Simeon Walker:

“Why does the world need a Piano Day? For many reasons. But mostly, because it doesn’t hurt to celebrate the piano and everything around it: performers, composers, piano builders, tuners, movers and most important, the listener.” – Nils Frahm, Piano Day founder. 

After a captivating performance here as part of Leeds International Film Festival, we’re welcoming back award-winning, Yorkshire-based Matthew Bourne to the stage. Specialising in piano and keyboard, Bourne has worked with the London Sinfonietta, John Zorn, Nils Frahm and many more – we can’t wait to see what he brings to this show.
