Alistair McGowan: Introductions to Classical Piano

Expect a lot of beautiful music (with the odd mistake!) and more than a sprinkling of his trademark impressions.

Add to my Calendar 07-04-2019 19:30 07-04-2019 21:30 36 Alistair McGowan: Introductions to Classical Piano Alistair McGowan says "This tour is a whole new way of presenting classical piano music. It is, possibly, the first classical event in the world which has tried to intersperse romantic music with comedy... I simply can’t perform in a room and not have some fun with my favourite impressions. It could well be the first show in which you hear Harry Kane alongside the music of George Gershwin, Jacob Rees Mogg between pieces by Edvard Grieg" Join one man, a piano and some of the world’s most famous voices for a unique night of inspiring, short classical piano works and some big laughs. Besbrode Piano Shop, Leeds DD/MM/YYYY
