Award-winning French pianist Patrick Hemmerle will be playing at St Cuthbert's Church, West Hampstead, Fordwych Road, London NW2 3TN, to raise funds and awareness for the Raymond Nicolet Trust on Friday 18th October 2024 from 7.30pm until 9pm.
Patrick is a French pianist living in England. He is laureate of the international competition of Valencia, Toledo, Epinal, Grossetto, and more recently the CFRPM, in Paris, where his interpretation of Villa-Lobos’s Rudepoema, raised a great deal of interest.
Patrick was trained in Paris at the Conservatoire (CNR), under the tuition of Billy Eidi. He has also had lessons with Ventsislav Yankoff, Eric Heidsieck and Joaquin Soriano.Many thanks to him for choosing our charity and many thanks to St Cuthbert's Church for hosting the event.
Patrick has published 3 CDs, which have been very well received by the international press and have led to an invitation to give the inaugural concert of the Novak Society, where he played Novak’s masterpiece, Pan, which had not been heard in Prague for 50 years.
His profound musicological knowledge, and his capacity to clarify complex musical concepts, mean he is in demand as a lecturer. He has given talks for Cambridge University, as well as a cycle of concert lectures on French music, presenting composers little known to the general public, their environment, their influence and their music. This led to the recordings of the piano music of Jean Roger-Ducasse and Maurice Emmanuel.
All proceeds will be donated to the Sveti Sava School in Bajina Basta, Serbia.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to St. Cuthbert’s Church for hosting this wonderful occasion and to Patrick for his generosity.
