Ruth Ascher Piano Masterclass 2026
Founded with a generous bequest from Ruth Ascher (1913–2010), a much-loved pianist and teacher. Since its inception, 9 masterclasses have supported 29 young pianists, including 11 who have returned multiple times.
We are delighted to announce the tenth Masterclass in the series, supported by the European Piano Teachers Association
(EPTA UK) and The Berkshire Music Trust. This is a fantastic opportunity for young piano students of any grade to perform in
front of an audience and be coached by the internationally recognised pianist and piano teacher, Anthony Williams
Due to the exceptional number of performers who have applied, the event will now run from 10:00am to 4:00pm.
As a player, this masterclass is a wonderful chance to perform and then work with an expert on interpretation, confidence, communication and new techniques.
As a member of the audience, whatever your musical taste and skills, you’ll get a rare insight into how great performances at any level are made, and how to listen to the music.
