Georgina Sutton – The One Foundation Recital
Sunday 29th September 2013, 3pm
Pianist Georgina Sutton is in the final stages of her studies at the Royal College of Music, and she gave an outstanding recital to a packed concert hall in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support Jersey.
The concert opened with a spellbinding performance of two of Liszt’s Sonettos Del Petrarca, nos 104 and 123, following which Georgina was joined on stage by Chris George as orchestral piano, to perform the final two movements of Chopin’s virtuosic Piano Concerto no.2.
This was a scintillating performance, and an excellent prequel to her forthcoming performance with the Jersey Symphony Orchestra on December 15th this year. The recital concluded with Albeniz and Bartok, and Georgina received an outstanding ovation from the enthusiatic audience.
