The Irish pianist John O’Conor has earned a worldwide reputation as a masterful musician. Following initial studies in his native Dublin he studied in Vienna and won First Prize at the Beethoven International Piano Competition in Vienna in 1973. Since then, he has toured the world in recital and concerto appearances in Europe, USA, Japan, Korea and China. 

His recordings have brought him particular renown, spending many weeks on the Billboard charts, and his recordings of the complete Beethoven Piano Concertos with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andreas Delfs were greeted with great acclaim. For this concert, John will perform popular classical piano masterpieces including Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight Sonata’, Debussy’s ‘Clair de Lune’ and beloved works by Chopin.
