The first night of celebrations features the great Russian pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja performing Schubert’s Sonata in B flat major, Cuarteto Casals, and singers Mary Bevan (soprano), Tara Erraught (mezzo-soprano), Allan Clayton (tenor), Henk Neven (baritone) and pianist James Baillieu performing Schubert’s finest Lieder.

The great Russian pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja, whose musical development was influenced by her close collaboration with Sviatoslav Richter, makes a welcome return to the stage for the first of three gala concerts to mark Wigmore Hall’s 115th Anniversary.

Cuarteto Casals then joins the celebration with a cornerstone of the repertoire, before we immerse ourselves in the captivating world of Schubert’s finest Lieder.
