Long Room Concert 2022

Taking the stage in the famous Long Room at Lord's, is the fantastic pianist Benjamin Grosvenor. 

Benjamin is internationally recognized for his sonorous lyricism and understated brilliance at the keyboard. His virtuosic interpretations are underpinned by a unique balance of technical mastery and intense musicality.

Benjamin has been heralded one of the most important pianists to emerge from the UK in several decades and we are delighted to have him join us at this year's concert. 

Benjamin signed to Decca Classics in 2011, becoming the youngest British musician ever, and the first British pianist in almost 60 years to sign to the label.

During his sensational career to date, Benjamin has received Gramophone’s Young Artist of the Year and Instrumental Awards, a Classic Brits Critics’ Award, UK Critics’ Circle Award for Exceptional Young Talent and a Diapason d’Or Jeune Talent Award. He has been featured in two BBC television documentaries, BBC Breakfast and The Andrew Marr Show, as well as in CNN’s Human to Hero series. In 2016, he became the inaugural recipient of The Ronnie and Lawrence Ackman Classical Piano Prize with the New York Philharmonic.
