Brudenell Piano Sessions @ Leeds City Museum #3

Since its beginnings for Piano Day in March 2018, Brudenell Piano Sessions has grown into a consistently captivating, regular part of Leeds’ thriving music scene. Celebrating the wide variety of music composed for and performed on the piano, each show offers curious music fans an opportunity to make new musical discoveries; experience a range of genres and musical styles combined together in one lineup; to challenge perceptions about what, where and how certain forms of music can be encountered - all in a relaxed, friendly, engaging and inviting atmosphere.

Founded by Leeds-based pianist & composer Simeon Walker, these live music events provide opportunities for young and emerging piano-based artists, performers and composers from across the musical spectrum to perform new, original music alongside other established artists, to a captive, supportive and encouraging audience of dedicated music lovers. Born out of Brudenell Social Club - one of the UK’s most iconic grassroots music venues - BPS is a celebration of good music, good people and good times, gathered around the piano. It’s piano music, for everyone. 

We are delighted to be collaborating with The Piano Trail Festival to bring you three consecutive Sunday lunchtime BPS events, in celebration of the piano, whilst The Leeds International Piano Competition runs concurrently alongside. These captivating events take place in the breathtaking Pianodrome - a circular amphitheatre made entirely of up-cycled pianos - which is taking residence in the reverberant surroundings of Leeds City Museum, in the heart of the city centre. 

As ever, we have invited artists and performers based both in Leeds and elsewhere across the UK to come and present their piano-centred music and work to a captive and curious audience, and we have three Sunday lunchtime treats for you, with full details to be released shortly.
