Welcome to the 2025 London Piano Festival at Kings Place!

The 2025 London Piano Festival marks its 10th anniversary with a rich and diverse programme featuring the theme of Maturity & Youth.

This milestone year blends classical masterpieces with contemporary compositions, world premieres, and engaging discussions. Join us as we celebrate pianist artistry, innovation and musical storytelling, bridging both past and future.

‘It is our great pleasure to be announcing the programme for the 10th London Piano Festival alongside the world premiere of three new commissions by Cheryl Frances-Hoad, Stephen Hough and Elena Langer. When we first dreamt up the idea of starting a piano festival over a decade ago, we hoped to fill a gap in London’s musical offering by creating a festival devoted exclusively to the piano. Ten years on, having presented nine Festivals featuring over 45 exceptional jazz and classical pianists, we are immensely grateful to continue offering world-class piano performances at our Festival home – Kings Place.’ – Katya Apekisheva and Charles Owen, Co-Artistic Directors
