Lunchtime Piano Concert ft. Amiri Harewood

proudly presents Amiri Harewood with a programme for solo piano:

Lera Auerbach - Selections from Preludes Op. 41

Modest Mussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition

Currently an undergraduate at the Royal College of Music on a full scholarship under the tutelage of Danny Driver, Amiri Harewood holds the Ann Driver Trust Scholarship. He regularly performs across the UK and abroad; previous engagements include solo recitals at prestigious venues such as Steinway Hall, St-Martin in the Fields, and the Royal Albert Hall (as a part of the Steinway Young Artist series).

Amiri's Southbank Centre debut with Chineke! Orchestra was universally acclaimed, described as a "Royal Festival Hall debut with considerable panache" [Richard Fairman]. He was also selected as one of the first Tabor Piano Ambassadors for the prestigious Leeds Piano Competition; he continues to work with the competition to deliver education and outreach initiatives.

Most recently, Amiri won the Kerr Memorial Prize for an Outstanding Pianist of Promise at the 2024 Royal Overseas League Competition and was one of three chosen as a 2024 YCAT artist.
