Memories
Imogen Cooper Music Trust Concerts 2020-2022
Through the generosity of Anne Machin, The Trust’s patron, the Scholars’ concerts and recording sessions were held in the elegant setting of 30 Pavilion Road, Knightsbridge. The recital room was the home of our fine Yamaha C7 grand piano purchased with donations from our friends and supporters. A stream of memorable recitals and recordings delighted musicians and audiences alike. The Trust was fortunate to have this London home from October 2020 to December 2022. The venue was sold and the Trust has moved on with many happy memories.
