“This is an opportunity to hear him perform solo a varied programme on our wonderful Bösendorfer grand piano – in a venue that has some of the best acoustics in the city.”
The recital starts at 3pm on Sunday 6 October at St Michael and All Angels with St Marks Church Preston in Egerton Road, Ashton-on-Ribble. It will be followed by refreshments in the Hall.
The church is on the 68 bus route and has ample parking.
