As a teenager, Benjamin Grosvenor established a highly successful performance career. Now, at the tender age of 20, the young pianist is branching out from his favourite Romantic repertoire of Chopin and Liszt to perform music ranging from Bach to Gershwin.

A successful career as a pianist just isn’t enough for someone as talented as Benjamin. Now he’s set his sights on conducting, teaching, and directing from the piano. Not bad for someone who didn’t even want to practise when they first started playing.
