Following his runaway success at the 2011 BBC Proms, the young British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor, described by The Independent as `one in a million - several million', makes his debut in the International Piano Series with a concert based on the theme of dance.

Opening with Bach's Fourth Partita, filled with vivid Baroque dance rhythms, he continues with two sparkling Polonaises by Chopin. The second half focuses on the mazurka and the waltz, as evoked by composers from Russia, Spain and central Europe.
