A HIGHLY-acclaimed classical pianist and composer will put on a special performance in aid of a Worcester hospice.

Marcel Zidani will play at Bretforton Manor near Evesham at a concert in aid of St Richard’s Hospice on Friday, July 10.

Mr Zidani has featured on BBC Radio 3 and has performed across the UK and throughout Europe. His album A New Renaissance was described by The Sunday Times as “an explosion of expressive tonal colours”.

The charity’s fundraising director Tricia Cavell said: “This is a wonderful opportunity to attend an exclusive recital by one of Britain’s most talented professional pianists.

“Places are limited for this special event, so we would encourage people to book early to avoid disappointment.”
