A once in a lifetime opportunity for Gordon’s pianists, four of whom took part in a Masterclass with Charles Owen, a leading British classical pianist at Steinway Hall, home of Steinway and Sons in Marylebone.

The students, who played a range of music from Chopin to Gershwin, were also able to take part in a question and answer session with Mr Owen, who is Professor of Piano at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Guest Professor at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and Steinway & Sons’ UK Ambassador. During their visit they toured Steinway Hall. Afterwards Mr Owen said: "The staff and pupils from Gordon's School couldn’t have been more friendly or receptive. It was a pleasure to work with their four pianists and watch the improvement they all made".

The events were part of Gordon’s School’s intention to form a partnership with Steinway & Sons and become a Steinway School. Click here for further information.
