A Steinway Concert Grand Model D will be transported to the stage
of Codsall Community High School for a recital by world class pianist
Freddy Kempf. Weighing 480 kgs, this beautiful piano is 2.74 metres
long, comprises 12,000 individual parts and took a year to build.
The piano is being provided by The Harding Trust who are kindly
sponsoring Freddy Kempf's recital on March 20th and this will be the
first time their most precious piano has been loaned out.

Special Events
As part of the Festival we try to showcase up and coming musical talent. For the 2010 Festival we brought you Benjamin Grosvenor, who has gone on to worldwide success as a pianist, and this year headlined the BBC First Night of the Proms. In 2012 pianist Freddy Kempf will be performing at the Festival.
In future non-Festival years we intend to put on a one-off event to showcase an up and coming talent. Our first such event is provisionally scheduled for SUNDAY 24TH FEBRUARY 2013. Mark your calendars!
