Preview: Pianist Martino Tirimo offers masterclass and concert at Chichester University Conservatoire

A Chichester Music Society-sponsored event along with University of Chichester Conservatoire on Wednesday 5 February 2025.

Martino will teach and perform in concert alongside three talented Chichester conservatoire piano students. The masterclass, open to the public, will be from 2-5pm in Pieces Of Eight, Bishop Otter Campus, University of Chichester Conservatoire; the concert will be at 7.30pm (doors 7pm) in the Elizabeth Swann room, Bishop Otter Campus.

Tirimo is a prolific chamber musician and performs as soloist with international orchestras, armed with an enormous repertoire embracing 80 concertos. He has made numerous recordings for EMI, Warner, BMG and Nimbus record labels.

The evening concert programme will feature Tirimo, the music students and repertoire by Chopin including the Andante Spianato and Grand Polonaise Op.22.

Tickets £15/free for students and faculty.

Martino is delighted to be back in the city: “I have been to the Music Society several times and it is a wonderful club. I think it’s the management that makes it. I think Chris Hough (who runs it) is a marvellous man. He was in the recording world before and you can communicate very easily with him. It’s a really good idea to do this and to be working with young talents. These young people are our future. It is so important to do things like this.”
