A 21-piano tribute to Chopin

World Update

Available for over a year

Dan is treated to a reworking of Chopin's original Nocturnes - played simultaneously by twenty-one pianists at Kings College Chapel, Cambridge University. Composer Richard Causton talks about the inspiration for this original piece and the challenges of staging the aural spectacle. Dan also meets two of the pianists, and visits Millers Music Shop, which donated the pianos for the concert (Photo: 21 Pianos concert rehearsal, Kings College Chapel.
