An inclusive evening of music-making with Derek Paravicini and friends featuring young musicians across the spectrum of neurodiversity. With guest appearances from Hannah Davey (soprano) and Poppy McGhee (violin).

Derek Paravicini has been blind from birth and has autism and severe learning difficulties, yet he can play almost any piece by ear in any key and style and is one of the most extraordinary pianists and musicians of his generation. Explore his YouTube channel to find out more about Derek’s incredible journey and musical abilities, and to hear his truly unique stylistic interpretations.

Hannah Davey enjoys a busy and varied career as both a classical and jazz singer.
In her life as a classical soprano, Hannah’s professional engagements take her across the country performing song recitals, oratorio and orchestral concerts.
As a jazz vocalist, Hannah sings with the Derek Paravicini Quartet and as part of a piano duo creating stunning realisations of the great standards.

16-year-old Poppy McGhee is a music scholar at Marlborough College, leads the Somerset County Youth Orchestra, and hopes to study and perform professionally. She achieved Grade 8 violin age 8, ATCL performance diploma age 12, and was a recipient of Future Talent Award 2014, 2015 and 2020.
Poppy has raised thousands of pounds by playing her violin to help blind and autistic children.
