SUMMARY:Summer Picnic Concert
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Summer Picnic Concert at Fairlight Hall offers the perfect opportunity to hear the runner-up from this year’s Hastings International Piano Competition again. Described by Artistic Director Vanessa Latarche as ‘a truly extraordinary and thoughtful pianist who clearly has a tremendous career ahead of him’, the 21 year-old Ukrainian pianist Roman Fediurko arrived in Hastings hotfoot from winning the prestigious Takamatsu Prize in Japan and then impressed our international jury with his sublime playing. We’re delighted to welcome him back to play Scriabin’s evocative and impressionistic second sonata, followed by Chopin’s fiendishly difficult Sonata No 3.\n\nThis year for the first time we are pleased to partner with the Lang Lang International Music Foundation, which offers a fellowship programme for a small cohort of exceptional young pianists. We are delighted to showcase the considerable talents of three of their Young Scholars: Deva Mira Sperandio, Julian Zhu, and Aidan Siqi Zhao. Who knows, perhaps one will be a future winner of the Hastings International Piano Competition?\n\nGlorious music performed by remarkable young pianists in a beautiful setting: what better way to spend a summer afternoon?\n\n“These works by two composers who have such an obvious ‘line of succession’ from one to the other, seem to function really well together – and Scriabin’s Second Sonata is also a very picturesque piece that strongly evokes the seaside. What could be more appropriate for this recital?” Roman Fediurko\n\nYou are very welcome to picnic in the lovely gardens before the concert (the gardens are open from midday), or you can book a place for a delicious buffet lunch to be served on the terrace, which will include 2 courses, wine and coffee or tea, at £55 per head.\nPlease note that the cost of lunch is in addition to your concert ticket.\nThere will be a long interval of 45 minutes.\n\nLANG LANG INTERNATIONAL MUSIC FOUNDATION SCHOLARSDeva Mira SperandioJulian ZhuAidan Siqi Zhao\n\nSergei Prokofiev – Sonata No. 4 in C minor, Op 29Frédéric Chopin – Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op 23Stephen Hough – Fanfare Toccata in D majorFranz Liszt – Reminiscences de Norma, S 394\n\nLong interval – 45 minutes\n\nHASTINGS INTERNATIONAL PIANO PRIZE-WINNERRoman Fediurko\n\nAlexander Scriabin – Sonata No. 2 in G sharp minor, Op 19Frédéric Chopin – Sonata No. 3 in B minor, Op 58\n\nBooking essential via Eventbrite – click here ( https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/summer-picnic-concert-tickets-1987312793061 )\n18 and under go free with a paying adult\n\n\n
