Beatrice – Solo Piano Recital at Ashburton Arts Centre, Newton Abbot
About the show
Beatrice, known as a pianist and composer who is re-wiring classical music, takes the voltage of a concert grand piano and drives it beyond the expected grid. A concert pianist with one hand in history and the other on the switch, she re-routes the circuitry of classical music — amplifying unheard voices, fusing classical and jazz, and re-charging the canon for both today’s audiences and a newly connected generation. Whether performing as a solo artist at 10 Downing Street, Wigmore Hall, in a broadcast on BBC or appearing on the Hollywood Blockbuster ‘The Beekeeper’ she stands at the forefront of a cultural shift within classical music.
