Pianists from across the world have made their way to Yorkshire to claim the coveted first prize of 'The Leeds' and Andrew McGregor and Katya Apekisheva are live at the Leeds Town Hall for the first of two nights of concerto finals. We hear performances of some of the best-loved piano concertos from the first three of the chosen five 2021 finalists, with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Andrew Manze.
As well as introductions, interviews and comment, Andrew and Katya also look back on some of the highlights from the competition so far and at some of the ways in which the competition has reached out to the people of Leeds.
