Alasdair Beatson live in London

Experience Alasdair Beatson live on November 7th

Alasdair Beatson, a pianist noted for his thoughtful interpretations of both standard repertoire and lesser-known composers, particularly those of the 19th and 20th centuries, will perform at Wigmore Hall on November 7th, 2026. Beatson’s playing is frequently described as possessing a refined lyricism combined with intellectual clarity, and he often programmes works that explore connections between different musical eras. He has a particular interest in French music and the works of composers like Fauré and Debussy.

Wigmore Hall, located in central London, holds a distinguished position within the classical music world. Opened in 1901, it was originally designed as a private concert hall for the Bechstein piano company, intended to showcase their instruments. Unlike larger venues, its intimate size – seating approximately 544 people – contributes significantly to its renowned acoustics and atmosphere. It quickly became established as a preferred recital space for prominent musicians including Dame Myra Hess during World War II who initiated a series of free lunchtime concerts for service personnel and essential workers which continue today.
