Overview

London-born Grace Francis, praised by David Cairns in The Sunday Times as a ‘phenomenon … of uncommon fire and energy’, studied at the Yehudi Menuhin School and the Royal College of Music, where she was awarded the prestigious Chappell Gold Medal.

She recently made her debut at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Hall and returns to Wigmore Hall to beguile audiences with the astonishing virtuosity and élan of her refined pianism.
