TinyLove_CJ Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Got the weekly TV magazine today and on the back page it always tells you what's coming up in the following week and I couldn't believe it when I saw this! The next TV magazine is out on the 7th of Feb but the listings inside start from the 11th, so that could be the earliest date The Piano starts with the 17th being the latest possible date. I squeeled like a little girl when I saw this, I'm so excited!!! 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kumazzz Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Yorkshire Post 31 Jan 2023 PressReader https://pressreader.com/article/281492165457231 Now let’s hear it for the railway piano maestros AS a city with a background for showcasing piano maestros, Leeds is an ideal location for one of Channel 4’s latest programs. The city station will feature in a new show hosted by Claudia Winkleman searching for Britain’s most talented undiscovered pianists. The presenter will be joined by Chinese pianist Lang Lang and pop star Mika for the five-part series, The Piano. Pianists will be invited to play for commuters on public pianos in London St Pancras, Leeds, Glasgow and Birmingham stations and share their stories with the public. They will be unaware that chart-topper Mika and Lang Lang, one of the world’s most famous solo pianists, will be secretly assessing their performances. The final of The Piano will bring together four pianists, one from each station, at London’s Royal Festival Hall, where they will deliver solo performances in front of an audience. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumazzz Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Yorkshire Post.co.uk The Piano: Claudia Winkleman to host search for Britain's best amateur pianist - and they'll be performing in Yorkshire Claudia Winkleman will host a new show for Channel 4 searching for Great Britain's most talented undiscovered pianists. The presenter, who recently fronted hit series The Traitors on BBC One, will be joined by Chinese pianist Lang Lang and pop star Mika for the five-part series, titled The Piano. Pianists will be invited to play for commuters on public pianos in London St Pancras, Leeds, Glasgow and Birmingham train stations, and share their stories with the public. They will be unaware that chart-topper Mika and Lang Lang, one of the most famous solo pianists in the world, will be secretly watching and assessing their performances. Sir Elton John, US singer John Legend and Hollywood actor turned musician Jeff Goldblum are among the famous names to have played for the public at some of the UK's stations over the last few years. The final of The Piano will bring together four pianists, one from each station, at London's Royal Festival Hall, where they will deliver solo performances in front of an audience. Contestants will include nonagenarians who have been playing for 80 years and 12-year-olds who have never played in pubic before, as well as people who learned during lockdown. A player with no sight who has mastered Chopin will also feature. Winkleman took over from Sir Bruce Forsyth as main co-host of Strictly Come Dancing alongside Tess Daly in 2014. Her recent project, The Traitors, saw strangers play "the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust" at a Scottish Highlands castle in the hope of winning big. The Piano was commissioned for Channel 4 by Shaminder Nahal, head of specialist factual, and Madonna Benjamin, senior commissioning editor for documentaries. It will be made by Love Productions - the company behind The Great British Bake Off - with executive producers Richard McKerrow and Luke Byrne and series editor Ted Hill. Mr McKerrow said: "The making of this brand new series, The Piano, has been a creatively exhilarating and uplifting experience. "We've been able to work with such a broad and diverse range of pianists bravely expressing themselves in such a passionate, heartfelt way on public pianos in railway stations across the country. "Looked after so generously by Claudia Winkleman and observed by the extraordinary Mika and Lang Lang, this remarkable trio bring a magical, soulful quality to this television series which we hope feels rare and unusual." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holdingyourdrink Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I am sooooo excited for this! Since a few of the MFC were at the recording of the final, we saw a few preview shots from the weeks before. My impression was very positive and I can’t wait to see the whole series! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
