Constantly improvising and composing, a year later several of her compositions were published. By the age of ten, she had performed her first concerto, and the same year, won the Lorna Tetley Prize for young pianists and shortly after was asked to broadcast a recital. At twelve, she made her debut in London’s Wigmore Hall and throughout her teens appeared as concerto soloist in many parts of the UK, on tour in Germany and in Norway where she broadcast the Grieg Concerto live in Stavanger, aged thirteen.Brownridge later won a piano scholarship to Edinburgh University and after graduating with a B. Mus. was awarded a further scholarship for a two-year period of study with Guido Agosti, in Rome. She continued her studies in London with Maria Curcio, winning the Arts Council International Piano Competition. Since then, she has appeared in major venues worldwide and with many major conductors and orchestras, recording twenty-five CDs for EMI, BMG, ASV, Hyperion, United, Classic FM and Cameo Classics. Several of these have been selected as ‘Critics Choice’ in the UK and as ‘Record of the Year’ in the Absolute Sound magazineof America. Her recordings include the first collections of works by Gershwin, Samuel Barber and Kenneth Leighton. More recently Brownridge was invited to make three CDs of Beethoven, Chopin and Debussy for Challenge Classics in the Netherlands, which received rave reviews. International festival engagements include Bath, Buxton, Edinburgh, Warwick, Grizedale, Newport, Rhode Island; Bratislava, Brno, Hong Kong, and Maastricht.Critics have compared her with such legendary pianists as Solomon, Rachmaninov, Cherkasky, and Bolet. She began her life in an atmosphere of freedom and individualism almost impossible to find today, and, under the guidance of Maria Curcio, herself a pupil of Schnabel for many years, she learned to deal with the differing requirements of a varied range of composers, which recalls Cortot in his prime. In an age that has become obsessed with mere technique and seeks a degree of perfection offered by over-edited CDs, Brownridge’s playing restores spontaneity, character and beauty of sound to the platform.Although regarded as “a major star in classical music,” Brownridge’s musical world includes works with a jazz element. She has recorded an album with some of the jazz greats such as Ike Isaacs (guitar), Jeff Kline (bass), and Phil Seaman (drums), and has appeared live with Jools Holland. She is much in demand as a lecture recitalist, in masterclasses and as a mentor for Talent Unlimited, which supports students from the Royal College and Royal Academy in London. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/st-albans/angela-brownridge-piano-recital/100001999424080247 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, concerts, contests, art, festivals, live-music, raves - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Doors Open At: 7:00 PM - Duration: 1 hour 45 minutes - Location: St Peter's Church St Albans - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 10, max: 25, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: St Albans - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: St Peter's Church St Albans - **lat**: 51.7555556 - **long**: -0.335 - **full address**: St Peter's Church St Albans, Saint Peter's Street, St Albans, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Angela Brownridge - Piano Recital - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/6e51781f07a4c33e5c5f55693e474e5872bbac5a3057d06c8f92f9461dfdd4d5-rimg-w481-h720-dc080808-gmir.jpg?v=1789250466 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Angela Brownridge - Piano Recital being held? - **A:** Angela Brownridge - Piano Recital takes place on Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 09:15 pm at St Peter's Church St Albans, Saint Peter's Street, St Albans, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Angela Brownridge - Piano Recital? - **A:** Angela Brownridge - Piano Recital is organized by International Concert Series. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
