Next Concert - Saturday 28th October 2023 at 7.30 pm

Leon McCawley

We are delighted to welcome the pianist Leon McCawley who will present a programme of Haydn, Chopin, Beethoven, Brahms and Schumann.  

Praised for his unfailingly communicative playing, British pianist Leon McCawley has been delighting audiences worldwide since winning, in 1993, first prize in the International Beethoven Piano Competition in Vienna and second prize at the Leeds International Piano Competition. His many concert performances and extensive discography have established him as a pianist of great integrity and variety, bringing freshness and vitality to Classical, Romantic and 20th century repertoire.

As a concerto soloist, Leon performs with many leading British orchestras including the BBC Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic, Royal Scottish National and Ulster Orchestras, Bournemouth and City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestras and Royal Northern Sinfonia. He made his sixth appearance at the BBC Proms in August 2019 performing John Ireland’s Piano Concerto with BBC Concert Orchestra/Bramwell Tovey which was televised on BBC4.

​We have been trying to get Leon to Whitstable for about 4 years now because of his incredibly busy concert schedule, delighted that we have finally made it!
