- Etichete Leona Crasi
Our long partnership with St. Martin-in-the-Fields, the buzzing classical music stage of Trafalgar Square, continues this summer with a delightful recital by London-based pianist Leona Crasi. The up-and-coming Romanian musician will perform a programme that combines both contemporary works and crown jewels of the Romantic piano repertoire.
Programme:
Franz Schubert – Sonata in C minor
Diana Rotaru – Debumessquise
Franz Liszt – Dante Sonata
