We continue our series of Coffee Concerts with a piano recital next Saturday, 3rd May given by Matthew McLachlan.

Matthew is well known to us, as we have watched him progress from Chetham’s School of Music to the Royal College of Music where he is studying with Professor Dina Parakhina.

Recipient of numerous awards, Matthew has performed as concerto soloist and recitalist in Poland, Serbia, Italy, Spain, Germany, France and throughout the UK.

In July of 2021 Matthew was awarded 1st prize in the Royal College of Music Chappell Medal piano competition and the Esther Fisher prize for best undergraduate performance.

Last year, Matthew was a finalist in the Isidor Bajic International Piano Competition and awarded 1st prize in the Bromsgrove International Musicians Competition.

On Saturday, he will be playing:

Prokofiev:  Sonata no 8 in B flat. Op. 84

Schubert:  Fantasy in C major ‘The Wanderer’  D760

Coffee is available in the foyer from 10 am and the recital begins at 11 am.
