This is a reminder about the coming concert by the distinguished pianist, Malcolm Binns, which will take place in the Colyer-Fergusson Music Building on Friday 27 June at 7.30pm

The concert is being organised by the Former Staff Association in aid of the University of Kent Music Fund, and will include works by Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann and John McCabe. 

Malcolm Binns, who lives in Kent, made his debut at the Wigmore Hall and shortly afterwards appeared at the Proms, where he went on to perform regularly and at three Last Nights. He gave the British premiere of Prokoviev's fourth piano concerto at the Festival Hall, and has played under many of the best-known conductors, including Adrian Boult, Colin Davis, Malcolm Sergeant, John Pritchard, Mark Elder and Simon Rattle.

His recording career spans four decades and includes the complete Beethoven sonatas, and concertos by Rawsthorne, Sterndale, Bennett, Balakakirev and Rimsky Korsakov. His most recent recording in 2009, which was greeted with high critical acclaim, was of sonatas by Box, John Ireland and Frank Bridge.
