This special concert features an exquisite programme of romantic piano masterpieces, performed by acclaimed concert pianist Annabelle Thwaite, renowned for her expressive touch and captivating artistry.

This exquisite programme brings together some of the most lyrical and evocative pieces in the classical piano repertoire.
