Immy Pledge
Imogen is a pianist and passionate teacher. She recently completed a Performance Masters at the University of Birmingham, taking lessons at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. Much of the music you will hear from her today was played for her final piano recital. Imogen will be performing regularly throughout the year and working towards piano competitions, before she hopes to start an Advanced Performance Diploma at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.
As you can tell from her programme, Imogen specialises in and enjoys the piano Romantics. She is inspired by music from composers such as Chopin, Liszt, Tchaikovsky and Granados. Her playing has been described as extraordinarily ‘captivating and expressive.’ She hopes that the music today will relax and move her audience, giving them a moment away from the busy lives modern living demands.
