Programme

Overview

Join Charles Owen for a milestone recital featuring the world premiere of Gavin Bryars' first major work for solo piano, framed by Schumann's dramatic Sonata in G minor, de Falla's vibrant Fantasia Baetica and selections from Albéniz's Iberia. Experience a rich tapestry of piano tradition meeting contemporary innovation in one unforgettable evening.Prepare for an extraordinary evening as celebrated pianist Charles Owen unveils a landmark new composition by Gavin Bryars—his first major work for solo piano—written expressly for this recital and co-commissioned by Kings Place with support from the Contessa Fund Commissioning Circle, Penny Wright and the Cheltenham Music Festival. Owen frames this world premiere alongside masterpieces that span the piano's storied repertoire: the stormy intimacy of Schumann's Sonata in G minor, the folkloric passion of de Falla's Fantasia Baetica and selections from Albéniz's Iberia suite. Through this carefully curated programme, audiences journey from romantic introspection to vibrant Spanish colorism and onward to contemporary resonance, experiencing the piano's evolving voice in a single concert. With Owen's dual role as performer and artistic advocate, this recital celebrates both the rich heritage of piano music and the exhilaration of new creation, marking a defining moment in British musical life.
