Pianist Alon Kariv in conversation with Colin Clarke
Israeli pianist Alon Kariv will play Chopin’s First Piano Concerto on Sunday, May 11 at London’s Cadogan Hall with the English Chamber Orchestra (information here). Ahead of that performance I met Alon to discuss all things piano, some previous notable performances and, of course, his relationship with Chopin and that composer’s works.
