Rachmaninov Piano Concerto coming weekend in Oxford - mailchi.mp/c9753c63b014/r…

1/Hugely grateful to our fabulous colleagues Maki Sekiya and Shih-Chieh Ilya Li Chetverikov for performing Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No 2 to our year 9, 10,11 and 12 students today in an impromptu concert. What an absolute privilege to hear such incredible lyrical playing.

Thank you so much for sharing. It was an absolute joy to play for Cherwell School students.

Such wise words from Gustav Mahler (d otd 1911): “Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.” “In Bach, the vital cells of music are united as the world is in God.” “A symphony must contain everything.” “I don't choose what I compose. It chooses me.”

Rather humbled to be playing in this chapel tomorrow- what a place. l still don’t know so much after living in Oxford for so many years! 13:30 @eglesfieldmusic in Queen’s College Chapel, Mozart, Chopin, Mahler, Crumb, Balakirev ‘Islamey’.
