Overview

“Murray McLachlan is a pianist with a virtuoso technique and a sure sense of line. His timing and phrasing are impeccable, and his tone […] is a perpetual delight” – BBC Music Magazine

A very rare opportunity to hear Brahms’ barnstorming, passionately youthful piano sonatas in a single recital. Murray McLachlan, Head of Keyboard and alumnus of Chetham’s continues the School’s 50th anniversary celebrations with a tour-de-force. Brahms conceived his early works on a monumental scale, and his piano sonatas turn the instrument into a virtual orchestra. Poetry, passion and panache in abundance!

Murray McLachlan has made over 40 commercial recordings. He has performed with most of the major British Professional Orchestras and appeared as soloist on all five continents. He is the author of three books on piano technique for Faber Music

Venue Info

The Stoller Hall - Manchester
Hunts Bank

The Stoller Hall is situated in Chetham’s new School building, which opened in 2012. A void was deliberately left in the shell of the building for a planned concert hall, with the assumption that years of fundraising still lay ahead before that could become a reality.

The Stoller Hall boasts many innovative features, from the ability to separate public and performance areas from the day-to-day operations of the school to an adaptable extending stage that creates space for a full symphony orchestra in rehearsal or recording.

The Hall’s stunning visual design meant that it was named one of the 49 best new buildings in the UK by RIBA in 2017.
