With her unique combination of a colourful Brazilian spirit and profound musicianship, the London-based pianist Clélia Iruzun presents a lively programme of virtuoso works for solo piano.
One of the most exciting musicians to arrive on the international concert scene in recent years, Clélia Iruzun now pursues a busy international career as soloist, having performed across Europe, the Americas and Asia, including concerts at the Grand Theatre in Shanghai (where her recital was voted ‘one of the ten best concerts of the year’), the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing, the Konserthuset in Gothenburg and Stockholm, the Poznan Philharmonie, and at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room and Wigmore Hall. Clélia also undertakes annual tours of Brazil, appearing in the major halls, festivals and series of her native country. She also appears frequently on radio and television in many countries, and often broadcasts for BBC Radio 3.
