Skipton Music Presents: Ariel Lanyi

Skipton Music has a long-standing association with the Leeds International Piano Competition so we are thrilled to be welcoming one of its most recent prize winners for the latest concert in our current season.

2021 was a fantastic year for the 24 year-old London-based Israeli pianist, Ariel Lanyi…

In September, Ariel won 3rd Prize at the Leeds International Piano Competition, having also been a prize winner in the international auditions for the Young Classical Artists Trust in London and Concert Artists Guild in New York. He made his debut at London’s Wigmore Hall, participated in the Marlboro Music Festival in Vermont, and released his album of music by Schubert for Linn Records.

This year Ariel will be returning to perform at the Miami Piano Festival and at Wigmore Hall, as well as appearing as a soloist with orchestras in the USA, Russia and in Israel. We are delighted to be welcoming him to Skipton Town Hall for a concert that will feature music by Schumann and Albéniz, alongside Beethoven’s monumental late masterpiece, the Hammerklavier sonata.
