World Piano Day - Alan Benzie In Session
Seonaid Aitken looks ahead to World Piano Day with a celebration including pianists Alan Benzie and Richard Michael.
Seonaid Aitken looks ahead to World Piano Day which is celebrated every March, on the 88th day of the year, denoting the number of keys on the instrument. We’ll hear the sound of the piano in all of its varieties…from the lush tones of classic grands, charming uprights, electronic keys to the magical sound of a bargain piano bought for £1 via an online marketplace! Award winning pianist Alan Benzie is our session guest and Richard Michael has a timely selection for this week’s Songbook marking the start of British Summertime.
