“I enjoyed playing on the FEURICH 218 Concert I grand piano in Howden Minster. It produced rich sound in the lower range which supported the violin sound beautifully. It was a great pleasure to perform on the piano in this difficult time.”

In a solo concert, Kanako Mizuno presents a beautiful selection of works to lift our lockdown spirits and showcase the FEURICH 218 Concert I Grand Piano in Howden Minster. A special piano concert featuring Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight’ Sonata and works by Bach, Chopin, Poulenc and Janacek.

“The FEURICH 218 grand piano in Howden Minster (Howdenshire Music Project) is a very sensitive piano. It has high potential for producing a variety of sounds which is challenging but also very exciting for concert pianists. The piano took me on a musical journey and I enjoyed exploring the music on this wonderful instrument.”
