AVING had more than 500 broadcasts, including seven BBC Prom appearances, Martin Roscoe is one of the most regularly played pianists on BBC Radio 3. This Sunday provides a chance to hear him perform live.

As part of the Russian romance season at the Queen's Theatre he will be performing Grieg's Holberg Suite, Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat, as well as Tchaikovsky's Elegy for Strings and Mozart's Symphony No. 40 in G minor.

He will be joined in the concert by Sinfonia Classica made up of instrumentalists handpicked from across Europe.

Roscoe is a versatile pianist, equally at home in concerto, recital and chamber performances. In an ever more distinguished career, his enduring popularity and the respect in which he is universally held are built on a deeply thoughtful musicianship allied to an easy rapport with audiences and fellow musicians alike.
