Hastings International Piano Competition on ITV

We were delighted to welcome ITV to film some of our wonderful launch event this afternoon where 2022 second-prize winner Thomas Kelly wowed commuters and supporters with a performance in an unlikely venue… Hastings Train Station.

With a selection of music from Chopin to Scarlatti to crowd pleasers like ‘I do like to be beside the seaside’ and even an impromptu trio with our creative director Professor Vanessa Latarche, it was a wonderful event and a fitting start to the 2024 competition.
