Fascinating piece in the @guardian by @NMcCarthyPiano on the history of Ravel’s Piano Concerto for the Left Hand. Excited to welcome Nick to the opening weekend of the @bbcproms this Sunday, with the brilliant @BSOrchestra.

After losing his arm in the first world war, pianist Paul Wittgenstein commissioned extraordinary new works that he could perform with just his left hand. I’m aiming to keep his incredible legacy...

Over 80 soloists and conductors make their Proms debut this year. Some of the ones I’m particularly excited about: @Bruceliupiano, @AK_Mezzo and the inspirational @NMcCarthyPiano, who performs Ravel’s Piano Concerto for the Left Hand on the opening weekend of the festival.

A Nicholas McCarthy varios le dijeron que no podría hacer carrera como pianista con un solo brazo, pero siguió adelante. Se presenta este domingo en el Cenart. @cenartmx @NMcCarthyPiano

Happy #LeftHandersDay ! Thank you @southbankcentre for including me in this illustrious line up. 🙏🎹❤️
Happy Left Handers Day! 🤛 It’s not easy being left-handed, but the piano is one of left-handed people's greatest allies! 🎹 We take a trip down memory lane to celebrate some of the left-handed pianists that have graced our concert halls... https://t.co/PRYox5ohuZ

In honour of @NMcCarthyPiano's debut at the Southbank Centre last month, we thought we'd share this incredible article from @southbankcentre on 7 left-handed classical pianists who have all performed at their venue! https://t.co/rur68jH35x

A violin case that survived the Titanic is tipped to sell for £120,000. Wallace Hartley and his band famously played on to calm passengers as the 1912 disaster unfolded around them. When his body was discovered, the case was still strapped to him. Now that case is up for sale.
