Kathryn Stott (piano)

About Kathryn Stott

Our second concert features the internationally renowned pianist Kathryn Stott, already familiar to BMS members, in a splendid recital including two beautiful Fauré Nocturnes, Ravel’s Jeux d’eau and Sonatine, and Schubert’s much loved Impromptus in G flat and B flat. The programme also presents Rachmaninov’s Sonata No. 2 in its revised version. Born in Lancashire, she studied at the Yehudi Menuhin School with Vlado Perlemuter and Nadia Boulanger, and was a prize-winner at the 1978 Leeds International Piano Competition. She has collaborated with many leading string quartet groups, including the Belcea and Skampa, as well as the Lindsays, in whose farewell concert series she was invited to appear. Many members will be familiar with her complete solo piano music of Fauré on the Hyperion label. She is a frequent recitalist in leading venues throughout the world and will be a highlight of our current season.
