Purcell Pianist’s Performances and Competitions

We are delighted to share news of a remarkable few months for Year 8 pianist Michael. On Sunday 27th April, Michael gave his first solo piano recital at Ealing Green Church, performing an impressive 45 minute programme to a warmly receptive audience.

Just a week later, on Saturday 3rd May, Michael took to the stage at St John-at-Hampstead to perform the first movement of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.5 in D major, accompanied by the acclaimed chamber orchestra Camerata Tchaikovsky.

Michael’s success continued in the competition arena. On Monday 5th May, he competed in the North London Festival, winning first place in the Liszt/Chopin class (open age category). This was followed by another accolade on Sunday 18th May, when Michael was awarded first place and a trophy in the Sonata category (12 and under) at the Ealing Festival held at St Mary’s Church, Perivale.

Congratulations to Michael, who studies at Purcell under Florian Mitrea, on these fantastic achievements!
