Zoran Jančić brings beautiful and pioneering works back to the concert platform. He returns from the Balkans to St Georges in Refugee Week long after his exile from Sarajevo to Britain, to pay tribute to another composer/pianist in exile, Chopin, during his bicentenary year, to Hummel, who had an enormous influence on Chopin with his ground breaking romantic compositions, and to Voříšek, who invented the impromptu.
