About this Event

Since its reopening in autumn 2022, visitors to Leighton House continue to be astonished at the ‘Hidden Gem’ close to Holland Park and the Design Museum. The home and studio of the Victorian artist, traveller and collector Frederic, Lord Leighton, who was himself a lover of music and welcomed leading musicians of the day to perform in his studio. It is wonderful that after the reopening of Leighton House following the major refurbishment, many more recitals are being held in this magnificent 100-seater studio.

Series III consists of five recitals of approximately one hour each without an interval, starting at 7.00pm. Doors will open at 6.30pm with access to the museum prior to the recital. Seating is unallocated.

Karim Said

Karim Said is an award-winning pianist, conductor, and composer. He was the subject of the BBC4 documentary ‘Karim’s Journey’, which followed his progress as a developing artist at the Purcell School of Music, where he was awarded a full scholarship. His first major concerto performances were in 2009 at London’s Barbican Centre with the English Chamber Orchestra with Sir Colin Davis, and at the Royal Albert Hall (BBC Proms) with Daniel Barenboim.

Karim has performed on some of the world’s most renowned stages, captivating audiences both as a solo pianist and chamber musician. This was made possible largely through his association with Daniel Barenboim, who first heard Karim perform at the age of ten, saying: ‘what you cannot learn, he already knows’.

Highlights include appearances at the Aldeburgh Festival, Philharmonie in Berlin, Philharmonie de Paris, Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires, the Great Hall of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, and the Musashino Concert Hall in Tokyo. His love for Schoenberg's music led him to perform the composer's complete published solo works at London's Southbank Centre, as part of "The Rest Is Noise” festival.

Karim's dedication to his craft also extends to his native Middle East, where he regularly performs in Jordan, Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates. He established the Amman Chamber Orchestra and is director of music at the new Amman Institute of Performing Arts in Jordan, both initiatives of the Bank al Etihad Foundation.

Karim has been an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music since 2017.
