Concert pianist Mark Viner will be performing a Christmas concert this week feature a selection of seasonal music.

The programme is as follows:

Schubert: Sonata D.664
Alkan: 5e Recueil de chants, op.70
Tchaikovsky: Nutcracker, op71 (selections)
Liszt: Christmas Tree, S.186 (selections). March of the Holy Three Kings from Christus, S.498b

Mark began playing at the age of 11 before being awarded a scholarship two years later to enter the Purcell School of Music for the next five years. Another scholarship took him to the Royal College of Music where he studied with the late Niel Immelman for the next six years, graduating with first class honours in a Bachelor of Music degree in 2011 and a distinction in Master of Performance 2013; the same year which afforded him the honour to perform before HM the King.

After winning 1st prize at the Alkan-Zimmerman International Piano Competition in Athens, Greece in 2012, his career has brought him across much of Europe as well as North and South America.

His most important project to date is a survey of the complete piano music of Alkan: the first of its kind and which is expected to run to some 18 CDs in length. He is also a published composer and writer and his advocacy for the music of Alkan led to his election as Chairman the Alkan Society 2014.

The event takes place at St. Michael and All Angels Church on Wednesday 20 December at 7.30pm.

St Michael & All Angels Church is on Bath Road (W4 1TT).

Tickets can be bought online for £18 plus booking fee.
