Just in from the BBC Proms:
Very sadly, Sir András Schiff has broken his leg and has had to withdraw from this Prom. Rather than cancelling this concert we wanted to offer an alternative. We are immensely grateful to Seong-Jin Cho for stepping in at very short notice to perform.
Seong-Jin Cho won the Chopin International Competition in 2015 and has rapidly ascended to establish himself as one of the leading pianists of his generation. He made his Proms debut in 2018 and performed Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 9 at the festival earlier this season.
He will be performing the following revised programme:
Maurice Ravel Miroirs – Oiseaux exotiques; Un barque sur l’oceán; Alborada del gracioso (18’)
Franz Liszt Années de pèlerinage, Deuxième année: Italie (45’)
