INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK
Monday 04/23
PIANIST CHRISTOPHER O’RILEY PLAYS LIVE
Classical pianist burrows into the music of the late Nick Drake
Christopher O'Riley is a concert pianist who's known for his TV and radio show, From The Top. But he might have more of a fondness for rock than classical music. His recent albums have been dedicated to songs by Radiohead and Elliott Smith and now, he's grappled with the tragic songs of Nick Drake on a CD called Second Grace. Christopher O'Riley graces us with his piano playing and Nick Drake's melodies live.
