David will be travelling to Serbia in July to perform at the World Piano Conference held in Novi Sad. Like the last time he was there he will be performing a selection of virtuosic transcriptions.

Profile of Event

From Ireland to Hogwarts via Russia

Chethams School of Music has been referred to as the musical equivalent of Hogwarts on many occasions due to the old buildings and the boarding facilities, partnered with the focus and passion of both the students and faculty. In this concert, students past and present from the prestigious music school, under the teaching and guidance of Simon Bottomley, have flown over to perform at the WPC 2011, granted not on broomsticks, but the next best thing…a Swiss Air flight. 

Samuel Foster, Christopher Ellis and David Schofield have performed and had competition success’ across the globe. Collectively they have had performances at Carnegie Hall, the Royal Festival Hall, had their work broadcast on TV and radio and received praise from some of the best concert pianists in the world.

In this not to be missed event, these three award winning students will be giving performances of the John Ireland Concerto, Kapustin Concert Etude, Rachmaninoff Sonata No. 2 and a selection of rare, virtuosic transcriptions including a very magical arrangement of Harry Potter.

A charity concert is taking place in Wilmslow on the 25th June at Wilmslow Methodist Church, Water Lane, Cheshire. The concert will see the launch of some new transcriptions written for David along with other rare, but highly entertaining pieces of music. The concert is to raise money for Styal Methodist Church and along with support from Jordan Sheppard will see to raise £2000 which will all be going to the church to help with its redecoration and renovation.

In April, David took part in the Semi Finals of a brand new UK talent competition - Britain Does Variety.  He was selected to perform in the Grand Final at the 'Lighthouse Theatre' in Kettering for a chance to perform at the IndigO2, London.
