Chester Music Society: Clare Hammond (piano)

Acclaimed as a pianist of “amazing power and panache” (The Telegraph), Clare Hammond is recognised for the virtuosity and authority of her performances and has developed a “reputation for brilliantly imaginative concert programmes” (BBC Music Magazine, ‘Rising Star’). In 2016, she won the Royal Philharmonic Society's Young Artist Award in recognition of outstanding achievements. Highlights last year included a performance at the Royal Festival Hall with the Philharmonia Orchestra, and a concerto tour of Poland.
