    Clear view of the Pianist and piano. For me I was observing her technique playing the piano, motion of hands and timing, very interesting. Beautifully played. Very accomplished pianist. I am always amazed the memory of concert pianist, so I was glad someone asked that question. A soft, relaxed and confident voice, pleasant to listen to. First zoom piano concert for me, great.

    The event was hosted beautifully and it was so nice, and an unusual treat, to have the opportunity to engage in conversation with Beatrice after her recital. Something you don't get to do at a 'live' concert. Beatrice was a very engaging pianist and played her programme sensitively and warmly. I am tempted to see if I might tackle the second of the Gershwin preludes, which looked to be the easiest!. Lovely selection of pieces for a hot afternoon to cool us down, at least until the energy of Tchaikovsky was unleashed at the end! I was hoping that Beatrice would give me some secrets on how to remember pieces without using the music … something I find it hard to do. So nice to know that someone who has not been to a specialist music school - until they got to a London college after finishing their State system education - can do so well. Beatrice deserves her success and I wish her all the best in any forthcoming tours she undertakes. I look forward to hearing her again in the autumn, as promised!
