Keystones Piano Festival Presents Maria Chiara Argirò & Bruno Heinen
This May we’re delighted to be hosting a week of music in the round with our Keystones Piano Festival in the historic Samuel Worth Chapel. Featuring a varied lineup of contemporary and classical compositions, this celebration of piano offers an intimate and atmospheric experience in our unique heritage setting.
In collaboration with Jazz at The Lescar, we’re proud to present two of London’s most intriguing pianists in a special piano and keyboard duo performance.
Professor of jazz piano and composition at Trinity Laban Conservatoire, Bruno Heinen has worked with artists including Shabaka Hutchings, Eska, Julian Siegel, Denys Baptiste and Reem Kelani, with a compositional voice informed by his love of composers from Duke Ellington to Béla Bàrtok and from Wayne Shorter to György Ligeti.
“Eclectic, eccentric and unobtrusively erudite” – The Guardian
Maria Chiara Argirò has been a central figure in the UK jazz, classical and electronic worlds since she moved to London from Rome over a decade ago. A skilled pianist since childhood, she’s collaborated with everyone from These New Puritans and Jono McCleery to Jamie Leeming alongside output with Moonfish. Maria will join us after supporting US legend Kamasi Washington during his April tour of Italy, and an appearance at Manchester Jazz Festival.
Two distinct, innovative and complementary voices at the keyboard from the forefront of UK and European jazz and improvised music; contemporary yet approachable, they combine a simpatico melodic approach with subtle complexity and deeply felt grooves.
Please note, all tickets are sold by Jazz at The Lescar. To secure your place, please email: [email protected].
