On Monday 9 July, Denis Kozhukhin will make his London recital debut at the City of London Festival at the Merchant Taylor’s Hall. The programme will open with Franck’s Violin Sonata in A major (arranged for cello and piano) which Kozhukhin will perform with Narek Hakhnazaryan. The second half of the concert will feature Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition for solo piano, which will bring the recital to a rousing conclusion.
