Jean-Efflam Bavouzet returns to the Philharmonia Orchestra, to perform Ravel’s Piano Concerto in the closing concert of the 2014 Brighton Festival.

The 24 May concert is conducted by John Wilson and also features Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story and Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms. 

Bavouzet most recently worked with the Philharmonia in April, when he performed Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2 with the orchestra conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy.

Bavouzet’s Chandos recording of the Ravel Concerto was described by the Financial Times as ​“the best since Michelangeli’s 50 years ago.”
