The London Mozart Players will be in the masterful hands of distinguished London-based American pianist and conductor Stephen Kovacevich for their Croydon concert, on April 24, at 8pm.

The programme will feature Kovacevich playing Beethoven's Piano Concerto No1.

Kovacevich has enjoyed a glittering career and is a recognised authority on the music of Brahms and Beethoven.

The programme begins with Mozart's Symphony No 25, before Kovacevich takes to the piano for what is sure to be a memorable performance of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No1; the concert is completed with one of the great romantic symphonies Brahms' Symphony No 3.

There will also be a free pre-concert talk at 6.30pm in which LMP managing director Antony-Lewis Crosby will interview Stephen Kovacevich.
