Virtuoso pianist, Jonathan Ellis, returns to St Peter’s to give the David and Caroline Smith Memorial Concert. His programme includes Haydn’s last piano sonata in Eb, a selection of Liszt’s Années de pèlerinage, and Schubert’s Wanderer Fantasie.
Jonathan started learning the piano at the age of three. From the age of 11 onwards, he studied at Wells Cathedral School, and then moved on to the joint music course of the RNCM and Manchester University. He achieved a first class degree from both institutions plus the PPRNCM diploma in solo piano, and has since attained postgraduate-level diplomas in accompaniment and chamber music, latterly studying with John Wilson.
Admission is £7 on the door (U18s free) which includes refreshments served from 10.30am. Free parking in the school yard on Rawcliffe Street BB11 2DL and disabled parking in the church grounds.
