Chetham's School of Music

Discover the best in piano music including top pianists, young talent and international artists.

Part of the Chetham’s International Piano Summer School Series at The Stoller Hall.

Dame Evelyn Glennie is the first person in history to successfully create and sustain a full-time career as a solo percussionist, performing worldwide with the greatest orchestras, conductors and artists.

Evelyn was awarded an OBE in 1993 and now has over 100 international awards to date. She fondly recalls having played the first percussion concerto in the history of The Proms at the Albert Hall in 1992, which paved the way for orchestras around the world to feature percussion concerti. She had the honour of a leading role in the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

We are thrilled to welcome Evelyn and her pianist Philip Smith.
