Tim Horton’s dazzling virtuosity and eclectic programmes have established him as one of the most sought-after pianists. His concert at Kettle’s Yard features music that looks to the past for answers to the future. Thomas Adès pays homage to Chopin, Julian Philips transports us to the intimate salon music of the 19th century, and Helen Grime reinvents miniature character pieces that were favoured by great composers of the past. And Tim will end his concert with Pierre Boulez’s Piano Sonata No.2, an extraordinary masterpiece of intense expression from the 1940s, and a work of such staggering impact that its importance still resonates to this day.
Kettle’s Yard is a beautiful and unique house in Cambridge with a distinctive collection of 20th century art, and a gallery exhibiting contemporary and modern art.
