The Piano is a new talent show that will profile the best amateur pianists in the UK, performing on pianos at four stations around the country.

The Konzerthausorchester Berlin, conducted by Joana Mallwitz, opens the 2025–2026 season with Maurice Ravel's hypnotic Boléro.

The Yellow Lounge is nowhere more true to its reputation of bringing classical music to unusual spaces than here in the stunning setting inside MORI Building Digital Art Museum in Tokyo.

Dive into the beguiling world of John Field's Nocturnes as interpreted by world-renowned pianist Alice Sara Ott. This film, directed by filmmaker and tenor Andrew Staples, immerses viewers in Alice's imagination and her connection to Field's music, offering a rare glimpse into the artist's mind during the creative process. The interplay between historical venues and the custom-designed digital landscapes at Munich's Hyperbowl LED studio creates an atmosphere where the intangible becomes vividly real, resulting in a film that is much more than just a performance; it is an exploration of a performer's journey through the music of a neglected composer who left the world one of its most beloved musical forms: the nocturne.
