Concert pianist Ailsa Aitkenhead presents a moving rendition of Chopin’s virtuosic Ballade No1 in G Minor, and the profound Sonata in B flat D960 by Schubert. These pieces combine the sorrows of our shared humanity, along with profound hope in the power of connection and togetherness. This is also a unique opportunity to hear the live premier of Ailsa’s own composition, inspired by Chopin and Satie, and Chopin's glittering posthumous Nocturne in C sharp minor.
