Kathryn Stott bounces back

Internationally acclaimed pianist Kathryn Stott is well aware of life's little uncertainties. You'd think that in an industry where you get booked up months, if not years in advance, things would be plain sailing. But months of playing and touring in excruciating pain made an operation on her back vital, and she had to pull out of some long planned concerts as a result. But she's all sorted, and itching to get back to the keyboard for her first concerts back with Manchester Camerata - Friday 21 May in Stafford and Saturday 22 May at The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester with a programme of Mozart and Haydn. More about the concerts here. And you can hear a podcast with Kathryn - in which she chats candidly about her health, playing from memory and the joys of playing music with friendly faces - by clicking here.
