Concert Pianist Martin Roscoe will be playing at Tewkesbury's Roses Theatre on February 6th. Roscoe studied at the Royal Manchester College of Music (now the Royal Northern College of Music), and today he performs across the globe as a recitalist and concerto soloist. A close relationship with the BBC has led to more than four hundred broadcasts on Radio 3, and numerous invitations to perform at the Proms.

Roscoe has so far recorded more than thirty CDs, and has worked with Sir Simon Rattle, Libor Pešek, Kent Nagano, Yuri Temirkanov, Luciano Berio, Yan Pascal Tortelier, Andrew Litton and Mark Wigglesworth to name but a few. His programme in Tewkesbury will include Beethoven's Pathétique Sonata, Chopin's Ballade No 4 and Liszt's Benediction de Dieu dans la Solitude and Hungarian Rhapsody No.11.

Tickets cost £14 (£13 for concessions, £9 for students and anyone under the age of sixteen). They can be purchased online, or by calling 01684 295074.

UPDATE:

Just in time for his visit for Gloucestershire, Martin Roscoe has recorded the CD for this month's edition of the BBC Music Magazine. In honour of the two hundredth anniversary of Chopin's birth, he plays the Second Piano Sonata (Op.35), the Polonaise in C sharp minor (Op. 26, No. 1) and the Nocturnes in E flat (Op. 9, No. 2) and F sharp (Op. 15, No. 2).
