Around The World In 88 Piano Keys – Fundraising for Ukraine

In this special summer concert, Hull Chamber Music is thrilled to welcome renowned pianist Margaret Fingerhut in a fundraising recital in aid of Ukraine.

This concert will help to raise funds for the British-Ukrainian Aid. So far Margaret has successfully raised enough money to buy two ambulances for Ukraine, and is now aiming to buy a third one.

“Around the World in 88 Piano Keys” is a piano travelogue that takes the audience on a whistle-stop tour across the globe. It is a dazzling array of composers familiar and not-so-familiar, which Margaret personally introduces from the keyboard.

“One of the most radiantly musical of pianists, she plays with such alluring sensitivity & effortless command that one cannot help but be won over” – International Piano

Margaret Fingerhut was born in London of Ukrainian and Polish ancestry. Described by Gramophone as a pianist of “consummate skill and thrilling conviction”, her distinguished career has taken her to many countries across the globe. She is particularly known for her innovative recital programmes in which she explores the highways and byways of the piano repertoire.
