Pianist Tim Horton looks forward to giving a solo appearance at this year’s Presteigne Festival in Wales.
Tim has crafted a solo recital programme that encapsulates the artistic cornerstones of this year’s festival- the music of Dmitri Shostakovich, the work of composer-in-residence Eleanor Alberga and a longstanding commitment to the performance of contemporary repertoire.
The concert will open with Shostakovich’s Preludes and Fugues, op. 87 nos. 1 in C and 15 in D flat, followed by Helen Grime’s 10 Miniatures. Tim will then give the world premiere of An die Musik by young British composer Derri Joseph Lewis, who received a 2022 Ivor Novello nomination and is currently a Royal Philharmonic Society Composer. Anglo-Jamaican composer Eleanor Alberga’s Oh Chaconne! precedes Chopin’s monumental Piano Sonata No 3 in B minor, Op 58, which Tim will next perform in June as part of his Chopin cycle at Wigmore Hall.
