British pianist Ophelia Gordon makes a landmark appearance at Ronnie Scott’s, presenting a bold and boundary-breaking recital rooted in her acclaimed debut album Kapustin: Between the Lines, alongside early previews of works from her forthcoming second recording project.

Ophelia Gordon: Between the Lines

Ronnie Scott's

For a long time, the music of Nikolai Kapustin was known only to a few people in the Soviet Union. It’s only in the last couple of decades that his unique fusion of classical and jazz has reached a wider audience.

London Phoenix Orchestra are joined by Kapustin specialist Ophelia Gordon, whose debut album of his music has been highly acclaimed, for a rare performance of his Fifth Piano Concerto.

William Grant Still’s First Symphony, ‘Afro-American’, provides contrast and context for the Kapustin – the first symphony written by an African American to be performed by a major orchestra, it combines classical form with the language of the blues.
