*In-the-Round When the 18-year-old South Korean pianist Sunwook Kim won the Leeds International Piano competition in 2006, joining the likes of Murray Perahia, Radu Lupu and Artur Pizarro, he became the youngest ever player to do so. He has since carved an enviable reputation for his mature performances of the great composers, and we will enjoy an evening of great pianistic indulgence with him, ending in Beethoven’s monumental Diabelli Variations. 6.45pm Foyer Music

At tHe GReAt HAll
We are delighted to open and close the season with two Leeds International Piano Competition finalists, the Korean-born Sunwook Kim and Lancashire-born Kathryn Stott. The New York-based Escher Quartet will visit us on their next UK tour with an unmissable programme. Household names of the classical world, Emma Johnson and John Lill, will perform their favourite Brahms and Schumann pieces, and the engaging virtuoso violinists Jack Liebeck and Giovanni Guzzo also feature, as does percussion-genius, Joby Burgess. The uniquely talented Venezuelan pianist-improviser, Gabriela Montero, returns by very popular demand with Manchester Camerata. We celebrate a generation of young talent with the RNCM and Chethams, who both bring breathtaking programmes with enormous symphony orchestras to the hall. There are concerts to lift the soul, some to lose yourself completely and others that will provoke deep thought. But be sure that the experience of hearing great music performed live will enrich and enliven your Thursday evenings! I warmly welcome you to join us for a concert soon.
