Hastings International Piano presents Picnic Weekend

Picnic Weekend 4-6 July

Four of HIP previous prizewinners return to Hastings for a very special weekend of events at Fairlight Hall: Curtis Phill Hsu and Harmony Zhu, winner of first and second prize in 2024; Mariamna Sherling, who won third prize in 2022; and Gabrielė Sutkutė, who has become a firm favourite through her work on our community projects.

The weekend will include a Schools’ concert and a short concert on Friday, a series of masterclasses on Saturday, an illustrated talk by Julian Dendy of Steinway, and a concert by all four prizewinners on the Sunday afternoon. The weekend offers the chance to get to know these fabulous young artists, and hear some wonderful music-making in the glorious surroundings of Fairlight Hall.
