Venice-born pianist Alessandro Taverna will play Grieg's Piano Concerto on Saturday.

The performance will be the centrepiece of a programme of 19th-century music from Hull Philharmonic Orchestra, which will also include Borodin's Prince Igor overture and Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony.

Taverna, 28, who has won awards both sides of the Atlantic, gave an acclaimed recital at London's Wigmore Hall earlier this month.

Andrew Penny, Hull Philharmonic's musical director, said: "He's at the start of a very promising career and this will be a chance to see a performer who is capable of being a major name in future."

When & where: Saturday, 7.30pm. Hull City Hall, Queen Victoria Square, Hull. Tickets £7-£22. Call 01482 300300.
