| Paris premiere of the Concertino for Piano & String Orchestra
(January 2004)
The Paris premiere of the Concertino for Piano & String Orchestra
took place 18, 24 & 29 January 2004 at the Salle Cortot
of the École Normale de Musique de Paris with the noted pianist,
Françoise Parrot-Hanlet, as soloist. Both the soloist and composer are on faculty at
the school and were able to collaborate extensively prior to the premiere.
The performances met with great success by critics and audiences alike. One
can only hope that this success will lead to more performances by Parrot-Hanlet
in the UK and Europe. Contact Mme Parrot-Hanlet by clicking on her name
above or here.
