Yorkshire Music: News and Updates

Tomorrow is the start of Leeds College of Music's lunchtime chamber concert season and it will get kicked off to a great start with the Russian pianist Eduard Kunz playing pieces by Scarlatti, Haydn, Debussy and Rachmaninov.

Lunchtime concerts will take place at LCM's 'The Venue' every Wednesday from this week and every week for the next few months. Admission is free of charge to all events (with the request that those who can afford it make a donation on their way out of the auditorium).

This week's musician, talented young pianist Eduard Kunz graduated from the Royal Northern College of Music with both the RNCM Piano Prize and the RNCM Gold Medal for performance. Born in Russia he studied at the prestigious Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatoire and has been a major prize-winner in a succession of international piano competitions, including the Netherlands International Piano Competition, the Grand Konzerteum International Competition and the Dudley International Piano Competition. In June 2004 he was awarded a prestigious Dame Myra Hess Award in London. Eduard’s recent engagements include the Tchaikovsky and Schumann concertos with the Orchestra of Welsh National Opera and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
