We’re delighted to welcome you to Leeds International Piano Series 2024/25, which has firmly established itself as a collection of unmissable events on Leeds’ cultural scene.
Kathryn Stott, one of the best-loved of all UK pianists, recently announced her retirement as a concert pianist at the end of 2024. In one of her last appearances on stage, she brings a wonderfully varied and highly personal programme of musical postcards featuring some of her favourite repertoire, which takes its theme from one of the pieces featured, Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein’s 1959 hit song, My Favourite Things.
