The breadth and artistry of Kathryn Stott’s playing has been a significant part of the musical landscape for four decades. This programme includes the world premiere of a piece by Graham Fitkin – the tenth that she will have given! The rest is her personal choice of music which she feels she must play, such as by Gabriel Fauré (who died 100 years ago, in 1924), and drawing on pieces from Argentina, Australia and Norway among others. Inspired by her recent ‘playlist’ concept, the flow of music will proceed seamlessly throughout each half of this fascinating, wide-ranging programme – a fitting way to celebrate her remarkable performance career.
