About

Internationally acclaimed pianist Steven Osborne joins over 30 RNCM students in this extraordinary side-by-side concert, where emerging artists perform alongside a world-class musician as equals on stage.

The programme showcases Ravel’s rich and evocative piano repertoire, with Osborne performing solo selections from Miroirs, while students explore the two-piano piece, La valse, and staff join Osborne for the multi-hand work, Frontispice. Boulez’s Douze Notations adds a striking contrast, and Marie Jaëll’s Les beaux jours offers a lesser-known gem. Closing with Osborne and students performing Ma mère l’Oye, this concert offers a vivid interpretation of Ravel’s music through collaboration, artistry, and shared musical insight.

This performance is dedicated to Lady Renna Manduell (née Kellaway), MBE.
