That’s why actors and musicians use it for stage-fright\, golfers use it to improve performance\, and you can use it to reduce stress and anxiety. Book either a group\, an individual\, or both!

His residencies at London’s Wigmore Hall\, Antwerp’s deSingel\, the Bath International Music Festival\, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and\, this season\, at the Royal Scottish National Orchestra are a testament to the respect with which he is held. \nDescribed by The Observer as “always a player in absolute service to the composer”\, Steven Osborne recently released a much praised recording of Beethoven’s last three piano sonatas for Hyperion.

Other orchestral highlights during the new season include more Beethoven and Mozart with the Finnish Radio Symphony and BBC National Orchestra of Wales\, as well as Ravel with the BBC Philharmonic and Brahms with the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra. \nSteven Osborne
