‘MacGregor seems incapable of giving performances that are not at once extremely intelligent and entertaining’.
The Sunday Times

‘She is one of the most exciting and enterprising pianists of the moment.’
The Observer

‘Joanna MacGregor’s career is practically built on a reinvention of the star virtuoso
tradition… MacGregor’s verve, energy and astounding technique are always at the
service of the music.’
BBC Classical Review

We are thrilled to welcome back Joanna to Stoller Hall.  Free to all summer school participants- public tickets available from the Stoller Hall.

24 Preludes for Piano (2017)

Steepe wind a-blowin’

The bridesmaid started crying

Ian, where d’you come from?  – Beyond the Danube

Oh, Petrivochka, a night so short

The wind is blowing, the sun is warm

A rocky mountain

Oh, I’ll go to the garden

Oh, my sweet vast Canada

Oh, the clock chimed midnight

A swallow has flown in

Oh, a cuckoo cuckooed in the house on the corner

If only Mother had known

Green willow, green willow

Poplars grew from one field to another

I sow six seeds of maize

Red arrowwood has blossomed white

Oh, whose wedding is this?

Red arrowwood, green leaves

A pike in the sea

They say I’ve lost my looks

Oh, dear sheep of mine

A lady had a husband, she loved some Peter though

You, wretched singer, what are you looking for?

A pipe made of maplewood
