Michael Roll
Sunday, March 9, 4:00 pm
Monday, March 10, 7:30 pm


Michael Roll is widely considered one of Britain’s most distinguished pianists. Beginning with his success at the first Leeds International Piano Competition in 1963 where he won first prize at the age of 17, Roll has established a career as a deeply probing and expressive artist.

“The fact is that Roll remains one of the most perceptive and intelligent pianists this country can claim.”  The Independent
