Brighton Year-Round 2025
Anna Brikciusova Solo Cello Recital St Nicholas Church, Brighton
One of the most musicianly traversals of cello writing I've heard in a while.
Hamie's tonal palette is rich beyond her years and her realisation of some of Beethoven's writing is pellucid in a way I've not heard before.
Dominic Downs Piano Recital St Nicholas Church
Dominic Downs is entering the 2027 Leeds Piano Competition with luck and here's hoping he'll excel.
Emily Jennings and Cassandra Mathews Song and Guitar Recital St Nicholas Church, Brighton
Outstanding. And again at such short notice. Quite the most exhilarating song recital in months.
Eugenia and Quentin Russell Recital St Nicholas Church, Brighton
Niche but nicely judged and worth 53 minutes of a lunchtime away from the burly world
Ivan Hovorun Piano Recital St Nicholas Church, Brighton
An exceptionally musical as well as virtuosic climax to a recital alerting is to another world-class pianist.
James Pusey and Marc Clayton Sitar/Tabla Recital St Nicholas Church, Brighton
The brevity of this review, which can’t translate the subtle shifts of Indian classical music in the way classical music is transmitted, certainly doesn’t reflect its quality. Highly recommended.
Jason Ma and Seth Schultheis Cello and Piano Recital St Nicholas Church, Brighton
A recital both unusually exhilarating and wholly satisfying.
John Collins Organ Recital St Nicholas Church, Brighton
Again an unique presentation of lesser-known organ music.
Kenny Fu Piano Recital St Nicholas Church, Brighton April 30th 2025
Superb, something of world class Chopin here.
Kwanita Lau and Charles Tam Violin/Piano Recital St Nicholas Church, Brighton
Outstanding. And at such short notice
Louis Viktor Bak Piano Recital St Nicholas, Brighton
As the final pages romp home we feel secure in the hands of a young master pianist with enormous surging power in his precision, and limitless depth of tome and interpretive fathom.
Mercedes Gancedo and Quimey Urquiaga Soprano and Piano Recital St Nicholas Church, Brighton
A treasurable gem of a recital. But remember you can catch them on Friday at St Luke’s Brighton. Do go.
Pam Cragg and Maggie Grimsdell Piano Recital St Nicholas Church, Brighton
What a difference this recital makes. It would be very good indeed to see this duo here again.
Paul Gregory Guitar Recital, St Nicholas Church, Brighton
An exhilarating recital, a true gem and above all tribute to the much-missed Richard Bowen.
Regent Wind Quintet Recital St Nicholas Church, Brighton
An outstanding debut in Brighton for an ensemble already invited to return.
Ronojit Bhuyan Piano Recital St Nicholas Church, Brighton
A superbly probing recital. Bhuyan has immense promise. Very highly recommended.
Siriol Hugh-Jones and Stephen Carroll-Turner Recital St Nicholas Church
First class performances, idiomatic and immensely satisfying.
St Nicholas Yohei Nakajima, Miho Sanou Viola/Piano Recital
A terrific, indeed unique opener to 2025 concerts here.
Sussex Musicians Club SMC Chapel Royal
A very brief night, lasting under 40 minutes, but an invigorating snapshot of tomorrow’s musicians
Sussex Musicians SMC Chapel Royal March 8th 2025
Teeming variety and accomplishment. A superb evening.
Sussex Musicians SMC Chapel Royal, Brighton
An almost completely baroque evening with a modernist tail!
Sylvia Akagi and Peter Golden Flute, Guitar and Voice Recital St Nicholas Church, Brighton
A soft September spell.
Trio Cavatina, St Nicholas Church, Brighton
A refreshing recital, full of slant sun in uncertain weather.
Vivaldi’s Four Seasons by Candelight Sussex String Quartet
Come for the music, if you can afford the ticket. That, and the context framing it will leave you so much richer, despite the weight of your pocket.
Yoko Ono Piano Recital St Nicholas Church, Brighton
Yoko Ono is a hidden gem of south-coast pianism.
