This is an exciting and intriguing Recital to start the New Year! We are very excited to welcome Chiara Naldi and Jasper Van der Klis to our Recital Series on 17 January.
Chiara describes the Recital as a 'four-hands programme' - certainly we only have one piano and two pianists! Their programme includes J. S. Bach/G. Kurtag Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit (Sonatina BWV 106); R. Schumann Bilder aus Osten op. 66; S. Rachmaninoff 6 Morceaux op. 11.
Of course, they are both talented pianists and we have only included a small part of their biographies here and leave the details for the programme available at the Recital.
Chiara studied piano performance at the ‘G. B. Martini’ Conservatoire in Bologna under Mauro Landi, earning a Master’s Degree with Honours. Concurrently, she also studied harpsichord and fortepiano with Silvia Rambaldi and Carlo Mazzoli. She completed a Postgraduate Advanced Diploma at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance with Sergio de Simone, supported by a Trinity College Scholarship and the Henry Wood Trust. She studied improvisation with Douglas Finch and was joint winner of the Gladys Puttick Improvisation Competition in 2018.
Jasper studied piano performance with Sebastián Colombo and Alan Weiss at the Utrecht Conservatoire (BMus, 2015) and with Peter Bithell at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London (MPerf, 2017). At Guildhall School he also completed doctoral research on Busoni’s interpretative editions of Bach’s keyboard works (DMus, 2022; supervisors Professor Sir Barry Ife and Dr Christopher Suckling). His studies in London were supported by the Guildhall School Trust and the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds.
