'Tessellations for Piano' by Veryan Weston

Enjoy a night out of music and food at Cafe Yukari - a lovely family-owned café with Japanese specialties. Afterwards Veryan Weston performs his piece - “Tessellations for Piano” which will take you on an hour-long journey while you digest your food.

The piece has been performed in Europe and North America and was last performed in London in 2014....
