Programmes
Piano recitals with a theme
Iain Farrington has established himself as an expert and versatile pianist and is focused on achieving the highest professional performance. These recitals not only provide an opportunity to hear music of the great composers, but may form the basis of a social event - a cheese and wine evening, St George's Day celebration, or some lighter music for an AGM concert. The following five themed programmes are suggestions
for recitals. They are designed to be flexible, and individual programmes
can be devised. I hope you enjoy browsing!
