Our Patron David Owen Norris opens our 2025 season with a concert on his Fortepiano. Professor Owen Norris’s recitals for Stockbridge Music are a perennial favourite in which his virtuosic performances are accompanied by equally entertaining narratives about the pieces and instruments he is playing.

‘Yes, yes, we will have a pianoforte!’

David Owen Norris will playing his Square Piano by Christopher Ganer, built in 1781.
