Music

New Music: Clare Hammond, piano

Thursday 4 June 2026, 8pm (doors at 7.30pm)

Join us for a New Music concert in the Kettle’s Yard house. This week, we will be welcoming Clare Hammond, piano.

Book Now £15 (£5 students), booking required

A programme full of contrasts from one of today’s most impressive pianists. Clare’s imagination and thirst for discovery have put her in a league of her own. She enjoys a rich career working as a soloist, chamber musician, with major orchestras and conductors, and in 2024 Clare made her debut at the BBC Proms. This evening will range from dancing miniatures to major new works by leading composers. Simplicity alongside virtuosity, it will be the perfect finale to the season.
