  • Emma Abbate & Julian Perkins piano duet

We return to Boxford after three years, with an exciting programme using Boxford’s historic Broadwood piano. Emma Abbate and Julian Perkins are justly renowned for their explorations of the wonderful music originally composed for four hands on one piano and have given duet recitals at many prestigious venues including the Royal Opera House, St George’s Bristol, St John’s Smith Square, Hatchlands Park, the Russell Collection in Edinburgh and for the Mozart Society of America. Hailed for their ‘impressive playing’ by BBC Music Magazine, they have recently released Carl Maria von Weber’s complete piano duets on an original Viennese fortepiano for Deux-Elles and have previously recorded Mozart’s complete sonatas for keyboard duet on period instruments over two discs for Resonus Classics. They have just released Tournament for Twenty Fingers featuring works by British composers from the twentieth century on BIS Records: the disc has received a five-star review in BBC Music Magazine and has been chosen by Scala Radio as Album of the Weekend. A treat not to be missed.
