Performing with Toy Pianos: Dr Xenia Pestova Bennett

Toy pianos were first made in the 19th century.
This lecture/recital tells the story of an instrument originally marketed at children, that subsequently made a surprising transition into the professional sphere and is currently enjoying unprecedented popularity as a concert instrument in its own right with a growing body of repertoire. This unusual miniature instrument provides a respite from the traditional implications of the grand piano and breaks the ice with audiences.
Details on how to register for 2021 lectures will be updated in due course on the webpage for the event.
