Don’t miss this unrepeatable opportunity to learn about the fascinating composer, Sir William Sterndale Benett, on the exact day of the 150th anniversary of his death (on 1 February 1875). There will be no other event like this anywhere else!
Although Sterndale Bennett may not be readily known to many, he is reckoned by some as the most distinguished English composer of the Romantic School and dubbed as the English Hummel. Hiroaki Takenouchi, an excellent pianist with vast experience and depth of knowledge, championes the music of Sterndale Benett, and will explore with us the composer’s life, his work and close friendship with Schumann and Mendelssohn. The programme includes Sterndale Bennett’s most accomplished work, the Piano Sonata in F minor, which was dedicated to Mendelssohn and Schumann’s Symphonic Etudes, which was dedicated to Sterndale Bennett.
