A rare chance to hear George IV’s own piano!

Step into the splendour of the Royal Pavilion’s Music Room for an evening where history comes vividly to life. In an exceptionally rare moment, the recently restored Tomkison Piano once owned and played by King George IV will be heard again in the very palace he created.

Acclaimed pianist Maggie Cole will unveil its unique sound of another time to guests, joined by renowned cellist Sebastian Comberti performing on a fine 19th-century instrument. Together they will transport you to the elegance of the Regency era with works by Beethoven, Hummel, Schubert, Rossini, Diabelli and Eley.

The evening will begin with Dr Alexandra Loske, who will explore the Pavilion’s remarkable connections between colour and music, revealing the creative spirit and tastes of the early nineteenth century.

Hear the music of a bygone age performed on instruments of its time in one of Britain’s most atmospheric and historic settings.
