About This Event

鈥楾he most valuable commodity is a real musical personality,鈥� wrote Andrew Clements of The Guardian, reporting on the 2021 Leeds International Piano Competition. 鈥楾o judge from the final, Beisembayev certainly has that.鈥� Since his victory at Leeds, this young piano virtuoso from Kazakhstan has seen his career take off, with critics applauding his 鈥榟igh-powered鈥� playing. In this, his Proms debut, he tackles three cornerstones of the keyboard repertoire: the vivacity and wit of Scarlatti鈥檚 sonatas, the high-Romantic drama of Chopin鈥檚 expansive Second Sonata and 鈥� like a sudden volley of fireworks at the heart of the recital 鈥� three of Liszt鈥檚 spectacular Transcendental 脡tudes.

There will be no interval
