British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor performs for the first time in our Fortas season. A "one in a million" (The Independent) giant of solo piano, he first achieved prominence in 2004 as the youngest-ever winner of the keyboard section of the BBC's Young Musician of the Year Competition at age 11. Now a storied performer of international acclaim, he has since taken his place as one of today's most exceptional musicians with "a temperament rare in yesteryear, let alone now" (The New York Times).
