“We are so pleased to be able to bring our audiences, patrons and supporters something positive for the New Year. We will continue to support and nurture our prize-winners and wanted to invite many of them to perform again, wherever they are in the world. What better way to bring some joy than to present world-class musicians giving exciting concerts every month in the lead-up to our 2021 Concerto Competition.”

The concert series begins on Tuesday, January 12 with 2018 winner Roman Kosyakov performing his summer concert recorded in the grounds of Fairlight Hall Country House with a programme of Beethoven, Medtner and Schumann.
