Overview
Stephen Beus is a young American pianist of distinction and originality, returning to Wigmore Hall after a memorable debut here that featured music from his homeland. Once again he brings a programme of unusual reach, focusing on works by an American impressionist with a taste for the exotic and a short but hidden life, Charles Griffes.
