Milton Combe Piano Festival
Milton Combe will host the 4th of the annual piano festivals which have become famous in the local community. The small church in the village will be packed to the rafters with visitors from far and wide, as word has spread about this very special and intimate festival. The performing talent is literally taken from the world's most prestigious stages, as the festival founder, Terence Lewis, is the co-owner of Jaques Samuel Pianos, and works with the upper echelons of the London piano world.
This year, two of the most prominent rising pianists, Luka Okros and Daniel Petrica Ciobanu, will perform solo recitals, and on Thursday 14th June they will join together to offer renditions of two of the most popular piano concerti, Rachmaninoff no.2 and Tchaikovsky no.1. Luka Okros is one of the most promising pianists of his generation; at the age of 18 he made his US debut at the Carnegie Hall and has since given concerts in many of the world’s most famous halls. He has recently won the Hannover Chopin, Hong Kong, Valencia and Morocco piano competitions. We are also proud to welcome back Daniel Petrica Ciobanu who since performing at the first Milton Combe Piano Festival, has won first prize at the Morocco, South African and Rio piano competitions. Most recently he reached 2nd place in the prestigious Rubinstein Competition in Tel Aviv.
Concerts commence at 7:30pm in The Church of the Holy Spirit, Milton Combe. Tickets are £15 and available from Elaine Stansbury at ellieaud@live.co.uk.
