Clare Hammond - piano 

Clare Hammond is a ‘pianist of extraordinary gifts’ (Gramophone), recognised for her imaginative playing, visionary programming and communicative performance style. Clare introduces the music of Hélène Montgeroult to the International Piano Series for the first time. Montgeroult (1764–1836) wrote in an early Romantic style that was decades ahead of her time. She has been described as ‘the missing link between Mozart and Chopin’ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung).

This concert is part of the Leeds International Piano Series, presented in partnership with the Leeds International Piano Competition. 

About the Leeds International Piano Series

Welcome to a brand-new season of the Leeds International Piano Series, presented by Leeds International Concert Season in partnership with the Leeds International Piano Competition.

As we look forward to the 22nd Leeds International Piano Competition taking place in September 2027, we invite you to enjoy a celebration of piano music through this inspiring season of concerts.

Leeds has long been a city where pianists are discovered and celebrated, and the 2026/27 season continues that legacy with performances by artists who define the city’s musical heritage, from competition alumni such as Eric Lu to internationally renowned figures including Pascal Rogé and Clare Hammond.

We look forward to welcoming you to a concert soon!
