George Ko - Pianist, The Moon Goddess on Wednesday 17th April 2024

George will be playing his never-before-heard originals and a series of improvisations based on classical favorites by
> Chopin
> Debussy
> Rachmaninoff 
AND music from
> Star Wars
> Studio Ghibli
AND you will also have the unique opportunity to request any song this evening. 
About the Artist: Heralded by Steinway and Sons for “making classical music exciting and accessible for the masses,” pianist George Ko has encapsulated audiences worldwide with his classical improvisations on the piano, blending Chopin-like virtuosity with the vast soundscapes of cinema. 
He has been presented at Carnegie Hall 9 times and is a repeat keynote performer for TEDx. George is engaged in a 20-city tour and has given over 200 digital concerts in the past two years. His performances have been broadcasted on ABC and featured in music festivals in Italy, Germany, Luxembourg, and China. As a recording artist, his piano compositions have appeared in films at the Tribeca Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, and Netflix. 
George improvises all the songs at his concerts, a practice almost non-existent in the traditional classical world. Each original or cover performed is never the same in a live performance. He often takes daring requests from the audience, including their Spotify favourites, to a custom song inspired by their current mood in real-time.
Accessibility for shows 
If you or someone in your party require wheelchair access, then you must contact the box office prior to booking, as we allocate Stalls Right Row AA for this. 
You won’t be able to book online yourself as we have to unblock if any are available.
Sadly, once this is full we aren’t able to allocate anymore, so early booking is advisable.
