For our first Spring Festival we are delighted to present 5 days of memorable music and art in the modern performance space at Loaningdale House. We‘ll hear performances by six very different international virtuoso pianists: from Canada a world-famous musician at the pinnacle of her career; a Spanish pianist acclaimed for her Liszt interpretations; the king of the Scottish jazz piano circuit; two ‘masters of musical mayhem’; and our Emerging Artist, a young Russian pianist at the start of a very promising career. Closer to home, works by local artist Sarah Dawnay will be on display in the foyer, Live Music Now Scotland will take music into the community, and there will be a very special opportunity for local musicians, young and old, amateur or professional, to come along and play our superb Steinway. In short, something for everyone!
