RAYMOND BANNING has performed throughout the world, and his recitals at London’s prestigious Wigmore Hall are frequently sold out. He has been described as “one of the finest pianists of our time.” A recent concert in Bedford’s Corn Exchange attracted a near-capacity audience, who were rapturous in their response, and raised £1400 for the Macmillan Primrose Unit.

His new season of concerts will take in performances in London, Devon, Bedford and Cambridge.

Raymond Banning has a wide repertoire, ranging from baroque composers such as Bach and Scarlatti to twentieth century Samuel Barber and Frederick Rzewski. His concerto repertoire includes the complete concerti by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, Grieg, Tchaikowsky, Saint-Saëns, Ravel, Rachmaninoff, Gershwin, Shostakovich, Khatchaturian

Lorraine, too, is developing her burgeoning career as a performer, with various concerts planned in the vicinity of her home in Bedfordshire. She is also preparing joint concerts with her husband of solo and duet items.

Lorraine is building a wide repertoire of solo, duet, accompaniment, and chamber music, including works from the Baroque to Late Romantic eras. Her performances have been praised for their expressive musicality and tone quality. Like her husband, she is inspired by the great pianists from the Romantic era, and concentrates on developing a colourful, singing palette.

Her illustrated lectures on musical history have proven to be extremely popular, as she successfully combines musical insight with a winning personality.
