A magical musical experience as BBC New Generation Artist, classical accordionist Ryan Corbett, performs two concerts for audiences seated around Bignor Park’s tranquil Zen Pond.
Born in Scotland, Ryan is one of the leading performers of his generation. Also a Royal Over-Seas League Gold Medallist and Classic FM Rising Star, he is the first accordionist ever selected for the prestigious BBC scheme since its launch in 1999.
Having performed twice before for King Charles III, Ryan was invited to Balmoral Castle in August 2025 to perform for the King, the Queen, the Princess Royal, and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh. Committed to expanding the accordion’s repertoire, Ryan has created hundreds of arrangements and has premiered new works for the instrument.
He performs on a Bugari Spectrum classical piano accordion made in Castelfidardo, Italy. This was made possible by private sponsors, the John Mather Trust and Dewar Arts Awards.
