We are delighted to welcome one of the UK’s most distinguished pianists, Margaret Fingerhut, to the British Institute Library for a special recital. Renowned for her expressive playing and imaginative programmes, Margaret has performed worldwide and is celebrated for bringing both well-loved and lesser-known repertoire to life.

This programme weaves together works by Chopin, Liszt and a rich selection of Ukrainian composers, offering a deeply evocative musical journey that reflects her long-standing commitment to exploring music shaped by history, place and identity.
