About Martin James Bartlett
Martin James Bartlett possesses a fearless technique and plays with a maturity and elegance far beyond his years. In 2022, he became the inaugural recipient of the Prix Serdang, a Swiss award curated by Rudolf Buchbinder to recognise a young pianist forging an international solo career. An exclusive recording artist with Warner Classics, Bartlett has earned consistent critical acclaim, with his albums receiving five-star reviews and top accolades. Praised by The Arts Desk for his performance as “frankly like watching another, superior, species,” Bartlett continues to affirm his place as one of the most compelling pianists of his generation.

Reception after the concert
After each recital we hold a buffet reception, with a glass of wine or tea or coffee. The artists attend this reception and it’s a great opportunity to meet the performers, talk to other members of the audience and make new friends.
Venues
London is unique in having some of the venues in which Chopin played still available and suitable for recitals – several much as they were when Chopin played in them. See photographs and descriptions of our attractive concert venues.
