London-based Australian pianist Piers Lane makes a welcome return to Hendon Music Society, after
nearly eight years, to launch our new season with a flourish. He is acclaimed around the world for his dazzling technical virtuosity and the poetic
sensitivity of his playing both as soloist and as chamber musician. Through his numerous
recordings, mainly on the Hyperion label, he has won widespread admiration as an outstanding
interpreter of the Romantic piano repertoire. Piers Lane has appeared five times as soloist at the
BBC Proms. In 2007 he added a new dimension with his appointment as Artistic Director of the
Australian Festival of Chamber Music.
No praise could be high enough for Piers Lane,
whose playing throughout is of a superb musical intelligence, sensitivity, and
scintillating brilliance. Bryce Morrison, Gramophone.

The Chilingirian Quartet is one of the world's most celebrated and widely
travelled ensembles, renowned for their thrilling interpretations of the great

After performing for us one of Haydn's best-loved string quartets, they join forces

Orchestra, to play Brahms's supreme masterpiece and the delightfully lyrical
Quintet by English composer Hugh Wood (b1932), written in 2007.
