DISS 2015 - The Romantic Russian Piano

Veronika Shoot: piano

5.15pm Great Hall
£8 / Under 16s £5

“Shooting Star, Veronika dazzled the audience with an energetic and full-blooded performance. Her sensitivity in the full expressive range of the piano was magnificent and brought out the soul of this wonderful music” Plymouth Times

Acclaimed by Yehudi Menuhin at just six years old as 'destined to become a great pianist,’ Russian-born Veronika Shoot moved to England and gave her debut piano recital when she was seven. Her rising concert career has already taken her around the world, including Belgium, Holland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Turkey, Germany, France, Israel and South America, and to the Wigmore Hall and Southbank.

Her sumptuous programme of late-Romantic and early twentieth century masters will be fresh, dazzling, and colourful.
