The fortepiano is the precursor of the modern piano and is now recognized as the best instrument for recreating music originally written for it. Winner of the 23rd Flanders Festival International Mozart Fortepiano Competition in Bruges, Geoffrey Lancaster is one of the most distinguished fortepianists of his generation. His flourishing international career includes performances with orchestras such as the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra and the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra in Toronto. For this performance Geoffrey Lancaster will play on a copy of a 1795 fortepiano by the Viennese maker Anton Walter made by Chris Maene in Belgium and provided by kind permission of the School of Music, The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.
