Scottish pianist Steven Osborne was named The Royal Philharmonic Society Instrumentalist of the Year in 2013, confirming his reputation as one of the most accomplished pianists of his generation.
Last season saw Osborne appearing with Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony, Dresden Philharmonic and at the Lincoln Center and in recital across Europe and in North America. His Britten Piano Concerto at the 2016 BBC Proms was described as ‘a dazzling performance’ (bachtrack).
For this first and eagerly anticipated appearance in SJE International Piano Series, Osborne presents a programme that encapsulates the astonishing achievements of two giants of piano composition: Beethoven’s forward-looking harmonies and style in his last Piano Sonatas and the secret intimacy of Brahms’ Intermezzi Op. 117.
