Lamsma, hailed for her technical brilliance and heartfelt musicianship, promises a moving concert on March 1 with American pianist Robert Kulek, performing Schumann’s brooding Sonata in F and Janacek’s intensely emotional Violin Sonata.

The annual series held on Sundays at 11am at the Old Swan Hotel in Harrogate, kicks off on January 25 with the phenomenal Sunwook Kim, the youngest-ever winner of the Leeds International Piano Competition, and closes on April 12 with pianist Federico Colli, another recent winner of the competition.
