…a concert of two halves. Showcasing the very best of the variety offered by successive Petworth Festivals, Charles Owen and Lizzie Ball present two compelling and contrasting halves of an evening that take us from the sublime solo piano music of Chopin and Schubert to the sheer joy of Piazzolla’s tango nuevo, Bartok’s spirited Romanian Folk Dances, and the unmistakable energy of blue grass. Taking over as the Summer Festival’s twin Artistic Directors in the Summer of 2027, don’t miss an evening that shows ’the shape of things to come’.
Charles Owen began his musical studies at the Yehudi Menuhin School and continued at the Royal College of Music under the guidance of Irina Zaritskaya. His concert activities are diverse and extensive, encompassing solo, concerto and chamber music appearances. He has performed in many of Britain’s leading concert halls including the Barbican, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Wigmore Hall and Symphony Hall, Birmingham as well as extensively overseas.
A prolific performer, Lizzie Ball has been on the international stage for two decades. Lizzie was awarded an Honorary Masters from The University of Derby in 2018 in recognition of her innovative, creative approach to classical music. Shortly after this Lizzie was chosen as one of the UK’s most inspirational females in a list of 50 outstanding UK women making an impact, in a feature run by Daily Mail.
The rumour is that they will join together for a final item…
