A pianist known for "exploring the edges of the repertoire" will give a recital at the town's parish church on Saturday, October 24.

Lewis Kingsley Peart will be performing a programme of popular miniatures by Schubert, Chopin, Satie and Debussy, including the ever-popular Clair de Lune at the concert which starts at 11 a.m. with £7 admission (under 18s and students, free), including refreshments, from 10-30 a.m. The talented musician enjoys a busy life organising projects as both a soloist and collaborator, he programmes a wide variety, from the traditional classical canon, right through to jazz and the avant-garde. With a strong background in theatre, Lewis's appearances are never without verve. Lewis made his debut at St John’s, Smith Square in March 2018, in a programme of music celebrating the 75th birthday of the American composer, Stephen Montague.

In the summer of 2021, he had the privilege of working with British concert pianist and composer, Sir Stephen Hough, on his third piano sonata, "Trinitas", for the Trinity Laban New Lights Festival of Contemporary Music.

Highlights of the 2022 season included a concert for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival at St Mary’s Cathedral and his debut recital at London’s St Martin-in-the-Fields.

In November, 2023 Lewis, made his concerto debut with the Wimbledon Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23, K. 488.

Highlights of the 2024 season included two performances of Grieg's Piano Concerto, and his European debut with two solo recitals in Lanzarote.

In March, 2025, Lewis played Beethoven's "Emperor" concerto with the Angel Orchestra, and in April he gave the world premiere of Stephen Montague's "Scherzo in the Vienna Woods" — a new work that Lewis commissioned for solo piano. In May of this year, he made his German debut with a solo recital in Cologne. Lewis is a Chethams School of Music alumnus and graduate of London's Trinity Laban Conservatoire where he studied with Philip Fowke and Alisdair Hogarth.

The Saturday morning concerts will continue on November 7th when pianist Jonathan Ellis will perform in memory of David and Caroline Smith, the founders of the popular recitals.
