Canons Hidden in Roses
Chopin’s Polonaises are amongst the composer’s most iconic works. Inspired by an old tape
recording of my great-grandmother, a Jewish pianist from Riga who studied in Berlin in the
1890s and 1900s and survived the horrors of the Nazi regime, I recorded these master
pieces for Resonus Classics earlier this year (to be released in January 2027), four of which
are featured in this recital.

26 YEARS OF TIME TRAVEL
EVERY FIELD TELLS A STORY, a talk given by Richard Pincott
26 years in the blink of an eye. That’s how it feels when I look over my shoulder to see how far we have travelled. Since 1999, we have journeyed through time surveying fields and investigating the history of our local landscapes. There have been many artefacts of interest, many highs, and many lows, but the treasure has and always will be, the stories the fields can tell. Our talk will lead you through those 26 years of discovery and introduce you to some of the investigations that we embarked upon.
We think you will be amazed; as we always say, Every Field Tells a Story.
Audience feedback - "He's like a male Mary Beard!"

Chris Miggells: The Candlelight Piano Experience
Chris Miggells brings you into an entirely new dimension of live performance with The Piano Experience™. The nationally acclaimed composer and pianist creates his concerts in some of the UK’s most unique and unexpected venues.
Chris Miggells is a British composer, pianist, and synesthete whose work explores the intersection of sound, emotion, and natural phenomena. Known for his atmospheric style and cinematic flair, Miggells has rapidly established a reputation in the modern classical space, with live performances that push the boundaries of traditional concert experiences.
As featured on BBC, ITV and described by Notts TV as “the Banksy of the piano world,” Miggells is best known for his album Synesthese, featuring the iconic tracks Stone Giant, Flight of the Phoenix, and Aurora. These compositions are inspired by elemental forces and transformed through his experience of synesthesia. His live show, The Piano Experience™, has sold out in extraordinary venues including the Sherwood Observatory Planetarium (three sold out shows), Clipstone Headstocks (three consecutive nights), and Southwell Minster Cathedral’s State Chamber (sold out). Due to overwhelming demand and the success of recent performances, an extended UK tour of The Piano Experience™ is in development for late 2025, with future plans to further expand in 2026.
In addition to composing and performing his own works, Miggells independently produces all recordings in his studio and frequently collaborates with historic sites, visual artists and scientific institutions to create immersive, multidisciplinary events. With a growing catalogue and a fiercely individual vision, he is fast becoming one of the UK’s most distinctive figures in live instrumental music.
