Paul Janes
(Grand Piano)

Paul Janes will be playing a Yamaha C7 Grand Piano especially hired from Shackleford Pianos for the concert. We are very grateful to them as they stepped in at short notice after our usual supplier ceased trading.

He has performed widely in the UK and internationally, with notable performances at major venues such as Wigmore Hall, Cheltenham Festival and the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester. As an orchestral pianist he works regularly with the BBC Philharmonic and the Halle, and has often featured in demanding solo roles including Stravinsky’s ‘Petrouchka’. His playing can be heard on several BBC Philharmonic recordings.
