Clare Hammond Piano

Recipient of the Royal Philharmonic Society's Young Artist Award (2016), Nottingham Steinway Artist, Clare Hammond has been described as “one of the most exploratory pianistic personalities of our time”. 

Her 2022 album Hélène de Montgeroult Études has received wide acclaim for both Hammond’s exceptional playing and highlighting a composer described as “the missing link between Mozart and Chopin”.

Lakeside Arts, University of Nottingham is deeply grateful for the donation in loving memory of Everard and Ida Berry that has enabled the purchase of a new Steinway Spirio D concert grand piano. 

Not only is our piano a sublime musical instrument, it is capable of live performance capture and playback – creating whole new ways to access and share 'live' performance. We are proud that the Djanogly Recital Hall is the first UK concert hall with this technologically advanced instrument.
