Emily Hooker - piano

Emily Hooker was born in Surrey in 1988 and started to play the piano at the age of six. She has always enjoyed playing in public, both in concerts and competitions where she has won many awards, including first prize at the prestigious ‘Emanuel Piano Trophy’ competition in London in 2006. In 2007, she was also a semi-finalist on the BBC’s new music competition, ‘Classical Star’.

Her programme for this special afternoon concert includes:

Mozart - Piano Sonata no.8 in D major KV311
      i. Allegro con spirito
      ii. Andante con espressione
      iii. Rondeau - Allegro

Chopin - Ballade no.4 in F minor, op.52

Rachmaninov - Moments Musicaux, op.16
      i. Andantino, B-flat minor
      iii. Andante Cantabile, B minor
      iv. Presto, E minor

Emily has worked with orchestras in her local area, including performances of the Schumann Piano Concerto with both the Woking Symphony Orchestra and the Guildford Symphony Orchestra. She currently balances her time between piano teaching at St. Catherine’s school and a busy concert and competition schedule, before she takes up a Masters programme in September.
