Lunchtime Recitals: Edward Lloyd

November 2026 sees the launch of our new collaboration with the Royal Northern College of Music. In five recitals across the 26/27 season, the RNCM’s leading pianists will present a rich and varied programme of piano music, showcasing the exciting talent of young emerging artists.

To begin the series, **Edward Lloyd** performs one of Franz Liszt's most visionary, mystical cycles, which takes its inspiration from the poetry of Parisian Romanticism and traverses a vast emotional and spiritual landscape. From the grinding, deathly bells of Funérailles to the opulent and luminous tenderness of Bénédiction de Dieu dans la Solitude, we sense a monumental, epic narrative force—one which will reach far into the future, inspiring masterpieces like those of Richard Wagner with its scale and majesty.

This concert will be preceded by a film discussing the works created by the performer.
