Benjamin Grosvenor, Piano

Pianist Benjamin Grosvenor is truly “one in a million” (The Independent). He first achieved prominence in 2004 as the youngest-ever winner of the keyboard section of the BBC’s Young Musician of the Year Competition at age 11. Now a storied performer of international acclaim, he has taken his place as one of today’s most exceptional musicians, whose virtuosic interpretations are underpinned by a unique balance of technical mastery and intense musicality. Benjamin Grosvenor will perform gorgeous selections from Lizst and Chopin, with an enthralling twentieth-century twist from Soviet-Russian composer Sofia Gubaidulina.
