| Description: | Beethoven - Sonata Op.31 No.2, The Tempest Debussy - Images, Book 1 Martin Butler - On the Rocks Elliot Carter- Catenaires After winning the 2010 British Contemporary Piano Competition, juror, Philip Mead said "Benjamin Powell has shown himself as a consummate musician with a transcendent pianistic technique in the service of a refined musicality. Some of his performances during the competition were truly breathtaking. He was a worthy first prize winner." Equally at home in chamber music, song, and solo recitals, Benjamin Powell has performed across the UK and Europe in venues including the Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Wigmore Hall, and Bridgewater Hall. Forthcoming engagements include the Purcell Room, Blackheath Halls, and St. James’s Piccadilly. His recent solo recital for the Park Lane Group’s New Year Series in the Purcell Room was highly acclaimed: "Benjamin Powell demonstrated an immense range of tone and sound in his programme: granite and stern for Stockhausen, brilliantly light-fingered in Elliott Carter, fiery and moody for Anthony Gilbert, volcanically sensuous in Skryabin."
