Refusing to follow musical traditional conventions, he has forged a unique path in the musical world which leaves him free to immerse himself with singular dedication into the repertoire and musical expression resonating with the profoundest convictions. The results are interpretations of startling insight and originality. By dauntlessly performing all 24 Chopin Etudes or 24 of Bach’s Preludes and Fugues in a single concert, as well as championing lesser-known composers he feels a deep affinity for, he has developed a reputation as an original with something out of the ordinary to say.A charismatic speaker, he is able to elucidate the musical concepts close to his heart with unapologetic candour in a manner that both mirrors and complements his piano playing. Not comfortable with compromise, he engages with his audience from the keyboard with an energy and integrity that leaves no-one in the room in doubt as to his musical intentions.French born and trained at the Conservatoire de Paris under Billy Eidi, and laureate of many international piano competitions, he now lives in Cambridge, England, where he has built up a staunchly loyal following. He also performs all over the world and recent engagements have taken him to New York, Berlin, Paris, Vienna and Prague and China. He has published 5 CDs. Patrick is a member of Clare Hall, where he is in charge of the concert programme. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/cambridge/rachmaninov-cello-sonata/100001976217354305 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, music, concerts, art, festivals, live-music, performances, music-festivals, contests, theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 25, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Cambridge - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: St Botolph's Church, Trumpington Street, Cambridge, UK - **lat**: 52.20246969999999 - **long**: 0.1179786 - **full address**: St Botolph's Church, Trumpington Street, Cambridge, UK, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Rachmaninov Cello Sonata - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/07abc0ec5bf1694fe2b47621e31f497ba521d0516af58e3ef17d52b9d8f7b594-rimg-w465-h279-dc050404-gmir.jpg?v=1764813654 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Rachmaninov Cello Sonata being held? - **A:** Rachmaninov Cello Sonata takes place on Fri, 19 Jun, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Fri, 19 Jun, 2026 at 09:00 pm at St Botolph's Church, Trumpington Street, Cambridge, UK, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Rachmaninov Cello Sonata? - **A:** Tickets for Rachmaninov Cello Sonata are priced at GBP 25 per person.
