Martin James Bartlett and Mariam Batsashvili (piano duets)

We are delighted to welcome these two wonderful young pianists to Dorset for their only concert together other than the same recital at the Wigmore Hall a few days later. Mariam Batsashvili and Martin James Bartlett share a mutual love for music making infused with wit and expressive variety. They form a formidable team in a programme constructed from the very finest compositions for piano duo.

György Kurtág’s sublime transcription of the Sonatina from JS Bach’s Actus Tragicus BWV106 raises the curtain on a delectable programme of music for two pianos in the superb setting of the Gransden Hall at the Merritt Centre (Sherborne Girls School).
