The Series runs 24th January – 29 September 2018

SJE International Piano Series 2018

2018 will be the fifth anniversary of the International Piano Series and with more than forty past performances and a growing international reputation, the 2018 line-up had to be very special.

Internationally renowned Angela Hewitt opens with a programme of J.S.Bach, a composer she has made her own; multi-talented Stephen Hough follows, in April we welcome back a  grandee of the international stage, Spanish pianist Joaquín Achúcarro, and in June Imogen Cooper performs a Haydn and Beethoven programme.

There is variety too: a performance of works by the eccentric French composer, Erik Satie, along with readings from his letters and diaries, the Barbican Piano Trio, a 4-hands concert of music from the ballets, and to close – for the first time ever in the Series – a piano concerto.

a performer’s view

‘…I really think SJE Arts is an absolute dream venue – beautiful church, perfect acoustic and piano.’

Tom Poster, performer in the 2015 Series.


From The Telegraph

“The Steinway is still is a benchmark for excellence, and one of the reasons for its success since the company’s foundation in 1853 is its constant search for improvement. It has been at the forefront of invention throughout its history, patents more numerous than its 88 keys. The general direction of these refinements has been towards an increase of power, of sustain, of stability, of speed. Lovers of older instruments find that progression a mixed blessing, but there is no doubt that a great machine of extraordinary design has been the result”.
Stephen Hough, The Telegraph, 2013
