CMF Artist and pianist Dinara Klinton was live on Classic FM’s Facebook page. An innovative and relatively new Facebook platform, Facebook Live allows you to live stream anything you like.

The video was taken as she rehearsed for her concert later that evening and has received over 24,000 views!

During the video you can see Dinara play some, as Classic FM noted, ‘epic’ Scriabin as well as some Chopin. Dinara is really making a name for herself, only recently coming 3rd in the prestigious Cleveland International Piano Competition with her stunning  performance, perfectly described by Cleveland Classical.com below:

“The pianist ended the concerto by capturing the fire Tchaikovsky prescribed in his tempo marking, demonstrating a wealth of virtuosity without trying to burn the house down”

Dinara has an exciting few months ahead, with concerts around the world from Florence and Milan, Berlin and Frankfurt as well as numerous London dates, you can see more at her website dinaraklinton.com

The Oxford Lieder Festival is an annual festival presenting more than 35 concerts and dozens of other events celebrating the unique art form of song. It is a leading festival and the biggest of its kind in the UK attracting many of the world’s greatest artists.
