THE SHEFFIELD-based Japanese pianist Kaoru Bingham is holding a recital on Friday April 25 at 7.30pm at Shirley House, next to St Andrew's Church on Psalter Lane, Sheffield.
Kaoru, who was married to the late Sheffield pianist John Bingham, was born in Utsunomiya, Japan. At the age of eleven she won first prize in the 'Arts Festival, Japan'.
In 1985 she graduated from Trinity College of Music, London, having been awarded all the piano prizes. Her teachers included Alfred Kitchin, John Bingham and Myers Foggin and, in Amsterdam, Jan Wijn.
She was Professor of Piano at Trinity College from 1991 until 2001 and her career as a concert pianist has included tours in Europe and East Asia which have received consistent critical acclaim. She has been living in Bents Green in Sheffield since 2001.
A CD of her latest recordings, which include the Chopin Preludes, will be coming out soon and a second collection of Liszt Transcriptions is planned for 2010.
The programme for the recital includes four Impromptus by Schubert, Debussy's Images Book 1, and Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu, Mazurkas and Ballade op. 52 in F minor.
Tickets are £10 on the door.
