Acclaimed as a “pianist of extraordinary gifts” (Gramophone) and “immense power” (The Times), Clare Hammond is recognised for her imaginative playing, visionary programming, and communicative performance style. She won the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Young Artist Award in 2016 and an Edison Klassiek Award in 2024.
Tonight she presents a highly varied and colourful programme of well loved gems of the piano repertoire alongside lesser-known works, and including a new work co-created by participants at HMP Featherstone and Michael Betteridge, following her groundbreaking work of many years to bring classical music into prisons.
