Juan Gallego-Coin will present his interpretation of a selection from Iberia Suite by Isaac Albeniz. Considered a masterpiece for the piano, Gallego-Coin imbues the piece with a sensitivity, which highlights the piece as an utterly contemporary piece of music.

The programme will also offer some of the pianist’s own compositions widely showcase in Spain and abroad and which, together with his renditions of the classical repertoir, are contributing to cement Gallego’s reputation as one of the most interesting young pianists in Europe today.

Granada born Gallego-Coín offers a new interpretation of Albeniz’s Suite Iberia. More flexible in its different rhythms, the different elements of the piece are interwoven with subtle mastery.

Gallego-Coín’s Iberia Suite is a new Iberia for a new Century. The first part of the programme will consist of a selection of Gallego-Coín’s own compositions, among them the UK premiere of the Suite Alhambra.
