An excerpt from the most wonderful 32 Variations by Beethoven. We used these variations as the audio for the reel of last week’s Scotland trip. Recorded at @KingsPlace on @SteinwayHallUK • @grthk 📽️ • @berkeleyshirts
There’s a storm in Chopin’s Fantasy Impromptu — but halfway through, a stillness arrives. What do you feel when it shifts? Written in 1834, published after his death. You can hear everything he lived. 🎥 From Soliloquies #Chopin #FantasyImpromptu #QuietPower #PianoReels
Some are made of sunlight, salt air, and the people who make you laugh. Grateful for afternoons like this. Not every moment needs a piano. #ModernClassic #FriendshipInFocus #StillnessAndJoy #CyrillIbrahim #PianoOffStage #ArtistLife #BehindTheMusic #BeachWalks #MomentsOfCalm
You don’t just play the Heroic Polonaise. You rise through it. A rhythm carried by a people. A melody born of exile. Chopin’s most powerful statement — still speaking to us. 🎥 Part of the Soliloquies series 📍Recorded at World Heart Beat #Chopin #HeroicPolonaise #Soliloquies
Clair de Lune isn’t just played — it lingers. Like a memory in moonlight. Debussy took the title from Verlaine’s poem — where beauty lives inside sadness, and silence says the rest. What does it bring up for you? 📍 World Heart Beat #Soliloquies #CyrillIbrahim #ModernClassic
Philip Glass – Etude No. 6 I call it The Raft. A quiet endurance. A structure made of breath and repetition. Not reaching for rescue — just staying afloat. After seeing Géricault’s Raft of the Medusa in Paris, this piece felt like survival in sound. Drifting. Resolving.
A day at @henleyroyalregatta with @harrods — reflections, riverlight, and the quiet thrill of heritage meeting possibility. In classical music, I’ve always searched for the balance between old and new — tradition not as weight, but as launch.
Heritage & innovation can speak in the same breath—thrilled to partner with @Harrods . I chose music reflecting this balance: looking forward while honouring our roots. Grateful to share a vision of progress that deepens, not forgets, the past. Full piece soon.
A wonderful evening at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2025 — such inspiring work from so many brilliant artists. Thank you to the fabulous Sabina Harper for a truly memorable night! @royalacademy @creedfragrances
Lovely to attend the Apple TV+ BAFTA TV Brunch at 180 The Strand, celebrating excellence in global storytelling and creativity. @appletv @bafta @sabinaharper 📸 Dave bennet
Mozart knew how to say more with less. His Sonata in B-flat major, K. 570 — composed in 1789 — is a gentle reminder that beauty doesn’t need to shout. Subtle, graceful, and just right for a quiet Saturday.
Wonderful to have written a letter to my younger queer self for this beautiful book. It’s a deeply personal story, and I’m so grateful to @danieljharding4 for including me. Ioved this week’s launch - Letters to My Younger Queer Self is full of moving and inspiring stories.
A moment of pure, intimate reflection and magic in the middle of Brahms’ Rhapsody Op. 79 No. 1, where time and space to let us breathe. • 🎥 @grthk @kingsplacelondon
The world of reality has limits. The world of imagination is boundless.
Brahms’ Rhapsody Op. 79 No. 1—where storm meets serenity, passion meets poetry. A piece of deep intensity and beauty, always pulling between fire and calm.
A fantastic evening with @churchs at #TheChurchsClub, celebrating stellar craftsmanship & an iconic brand at the exclusive Tramp in Mayfair. The launch of Chetwynd Contour brought together friends old and new for a night of style, laughter, & unforgettable moments. #ChurchsShoes
Mozart’s music is a magical tower of pure human emotion. It speaks a divine language between joy, sorrow, love, and hope with remarkable clarity. When we perform it, we don’t just recreate notes—we channel a timeless dialogue between his revolutionary vision & our own inner world
Just me, the piano, and whatever notes feel right lately. #PracticeMakesProgress
Celebrating Brazil with Granada and @royalacademy , where I had the privilege of a private viewing of the Brasil! Brasil! The Birth of Modernism exhibition. A great evening to celebrate Brazil’s vibrant culture and heritage. #BrazilModernism #Granado #ArtAndCulture
