Programme Note
Our Late Summer Gala presents three outstanding young pianists each showcasing an iconic piano quartet with sparkling string soloists from London Mozart Players, who are passionate about passing the baton on to the next generation.
This recital is produced by the charity Promote Our Pianists (POP) working together with Kettner Concerts to offer live performances to outstanding young pianists.
The Artists
Milda Daunoraite, born in Anykščial, Lithuania, performed at the National Liberal Club in 2021, when she was praised for the sheer enjoyment and exhilaration and her 'joie de vivre'. A student at the Royal Academy of Music, she was awarded the RAM's prestigious Bicentenary Scholarship for 2025/6, which is supporting her Master's degree.
Dominic Degavino, born in Milton Keynes, studied at Chethams School of Music and the Royal Northen College of Music before completing his studies at the Guildhall. A founding member of the Mithras Trio, which was selected for the BBC's New Generation Artists scheme for the 2021–23, Dominic now has a full performing schedule as a soloist, chamber musician, accompanist, and jazz player.
William Bracken - described by The Telegraph as having "an ability to hold an audience in the palm of his hand", British pianist William Bracken is a unique creative voice whose approach is informed by an improvisational state of mind, curiosity, and acute contextual awareness. Winner of several major international prizes and with appearances as a soloist at Wigmore Hall and New York's Carnegie Hall under his belt, William was appointed as a member of teaching staff at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London shortly after graduating.
London Mozart Players is the oldest and most adventurous chamber orchestra in the UK. The LMP has a long tradition of inspiring the next generation of musicians and music lovers by promoting young talent. We are honoured to have them send a trio of their finest string soloists to perform these challenging masterworks.
The Venue
Designed by Alfred Waterhouse and completed in 1887, the National Liberal Club's Italianate building on the Embankment of the river Thames is the second-largest club-house built in London — located at Whitehall Place, close to the Houses of Parliament and Trafalgar Square. Built on a foundation of inclusivity, the NLC is proud to be one of the most welcoming clubs in London. The David Lloyd George Room is home to our concerts, with a spectacular Steinway Model D piano for artists and audiences to enjoy.
