Patrick Hemmerlé (piano)

Hosted by the LSE Lunchtime Concert Series

In-person event (Shaw Library, 6th floor, Old Building)

Patrick Hemmerlé is one of Europe’s most enigmatic pianists. Refusing to follow musical traditional conventions, he has forged a unique path in the musical world which leaves him free to immerse himself with singular dedication into the repertoire and musical expression resonating with his most profound convictions. 

French-born, trained at the Conservatoire de Paris under Billy Eidi, and laureate of many international piano competitions, he now lives in Cambridge, England, where he has built up a  loyal following. He performs all over the world and recent engagements have taken him to New York, Berlin, Paris, Vienna and Prague and China. He has published 5 CDs. Patrick is a member of Clare Hall, Cambridge University, where he is in charge of the concert programme. 

Performance to include:

A piano recital featuring music of

Chopin, Liszt, Faure, Debussy and Ravel

The next lunchtime concert is on Thursday 16 October and will be performed by Hiu Zi Yoh (piano).

Join the LSE Choir and Orchestra on Tuesday 9 December for the LSE Christmas Concert in the beautiful surroundings of St Clement Danes Church.
