VC LIVE | Wigmore Hall Presents "Imitations"

Tune in here on Monday, April 24 at 9AM (ET) for a special concert featuring violist Lawrence Power and lutist Sergio Bucheli

We're coming to you direct from Wigmore Hall each Monday morning for a special chamber music recital – LIVE from the iconic London concert hall.

Internationally-acclaimed viola player Lawrence Power is widely heralded for his richness of sound, technical mastery and his passionate advocacy for new music. Lawrence has advanced the cause of the viola both through the excellence of his performances, whether in recitals, chamber music or concertos and the creation of the Viola Commissioning Circle (VCC), which has led to a substantial body of fresh repertoire for the instrument by today’s finest composers.

This programme traverses different countries and periods and includes the first performance of a major work by the Turkish pianist and composer written for Power.
