This ‘concert’ will be performed by Alexander Bradford, 22. He is a local musician who has had many different musical life experiences. His journey with classical music is like no other, he has taken influence from right across the musical spectrum, from heavy rock bands like The Who all the way over to the classical genius off Beethoven. This performance you will hear today will incorporate all of Alexander’s influences which will all revolve around his understanding of classical pianism and combine this with multiple genres as well as his own songs and compositions.
His experiences so far range from classical competitions and performances, band gigs in the likes of Rock City in Nottingham, choral singing and gospel singing and a whole host of experiences which he will express for you in today’s concert which will push the boundaries of musical style

Passionate yet refined, daring yet grounded in artistry, “Beethoven the Punk” invites audiences to rediscover classical music not as history, but as a living, breathing force of expression.
