In the 2005/2006 season Chloë made an impressive debut with Mariss Jansons and the Symphonieorchester des Bayerische Rundfunk in the Munich Gasteig.  She made her BBC Proms debut in 2002, her US concerto debut in 2003, and has performed in major venues in the UK (Barbican, Royal Festival Hall, Royal Albert Hall, Wigmore Hall), Europe (Vienna Musikverein, Louvre and Salle Gaveau-Paris, The Hermitage-St.Petersburg) as well as Carnegie Hall, Metropolitan Arts Space-Tokyo and the Seoul Arts Centre.

Part of the OPEN HOUSE LONDON weekend

Open House London is the capital's largest architectural festival.  The initiative is a simple but powerful concept: hundreds of great buildings of all types and periods open up their doors to all, completely for free.  This unique opportunity to access and understand architecture is a challenge to look at everyday buildings anew, and communicates the value of a well-designed city to everybody who uses it.

After the wonderful turnout for last year's Open House at 1901 Arts Club we are going to open our doors again this September. 

With tours on the hour and some musical performances to entertain visitors we hope this will again be an exciting day of exploring the history and present of our beautiful building. 

The bar will be open to visitors for refreshments.

Tickets: FREE - First come basis.  Maximum of 30 per tour (last tour at 4pm)

Already established at age 17 as one of the most gifted and sought-after young pianists in the world, Benjamin Grosvenor made his Carnegie Hall and Royal Albert Hall debuts aged 13, playing the Ravel G major and Chopin F minor concertos.  Benjamin first came to prominence as the outstanding winner age 11 of the Keyboard Final of the 2004 BBC Young Musician Competition.  Enthusiastically received debuts at London’s Wigmore Hall, Barbican Hall and Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall followed, with the Daily Telegraph writing that his Mozart Concerto K.415 'was a colourist's dream, with rich dark hues and sparkling fanciful figurations'.

In recent years EMI Classics have supported Benjamin through an innovative development agreement.  In 2008, Benjamin recorded a mixed recital of shorter works for B&W.  This recording has now been released on a CD entitled This and That to overwhelming acclaim, with Gramophone exclaiming 'the performances by Benjamin Grosvenor exhibit a skill and talent not heard since Kissin's legendary teenage Russian debut' and International Piano commenting 'It is hard to know which is the more startling in a pianist still in his mid-teens: the all-encompassing mastery of technique, or the flair and maturity of imagination. He really is a rare talent'.
