Programme

CHOPIN Nocturnes for solo piano

Far from being mere “night pieces”, Chopin’s Nocturnes are studies in contrast — combining delicate lyricism with moments of deep turbulence and unresolved longing, representing a pinnacle of Romantic introspection. The Nocturnes continue to influence generations of composers and pianists, not only for their technical finesse but for their unmatched ability to express the inexpressible. They are not just central to Chopin’s legacy — they are central to the very idea of what Romantic piano music can be.

In the hands of Piers Lane, five times soloist at the BBC Proms, Artistic Director of the Sydney Piano Competition, and a soloist who has enraptured audiences in more than 40 countries, the profound Nocturnes will be heard for the first time at Snow Concert Hall.
