Event Description
Allan Schiller and John Humphreys have been performing as a piano duo since 1972 and in 2022 celebrated their 50th anniversary with appearances around the UK, culminating in a recital at London’s esteemed Wigmore Hall. On 29 November this year they will give their ‘farewell to Wigmore Hall’ recital with a programme of music by Mozart and Schubert, two composers whose works have featured significantly in their programmes over the decades.
Additionally, they have released CDs of music by Busoni (complete two piano music) and Schubert for Naxos. Moreover, they’ve featured in BBC Radio 3 broadcasts and have played throughout the UK and, recently, in Iceland. In what may be the final time John Humphreys & Allan Schiller appear together at Elmslie House, this recital comes six days ahead of their final performance at Wigmore Hall.
