We are delighted that Geoffrey Saba has agreed to return to Sutton House for this concert in honour of one of the greatest of all piano composers, Chopin. Born Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin (sometimes written as Szopen), there is some mystery as to the exact date of his birth. We know that his family celebrated it on March 1st, but we also know that his birth was registered at the church of Saint-Rock in Brochów on February 22nd. You can read more about that if you visit the Chopin Society's website www.chopin-society.org.uk.

Geoffrey Saba will be helping us to celebrate by playing some of his greatest works: the Sonata in B flat minor (with the heart-rending funeral march) and the Four Scherzi. He'll also be treating us to the Nocturne in E flat major (Op.55:2) and the Polonaise Fantasie. The Sutton House cafe will be open for wine, coffee and delicious cakes from 6.30pm and during the interval.
