86 THE LIST 4 "WI
s‘c'omsu ENSEMBLE wmI BENJAMIN GROSVENOR Queen‘s Hall, Edinburgh, Thu 10 Feb; Caird Hall. Dundee. Fri 11 Feb; Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow, Sat 12 Feb
Try to think back — just a few years — to when you were 12 years old. Interests might have been clothes, pop music, the opposite sex or, probably more interestingly, what you were going to get for your tea. But the idea of being totally dedicated to the chosen career of some distant future life is surely something that was too far away even to be imagined. Pianist Benjamin Grosvenor is remarkable not only for having a focussed goal of where he wants to be but also, at the age of just 12, for having achieved a good sized chunk of his journey already.
Like the now media-feted violinist Nicola Benedetti before him, Ben is about to undertake a Scottish Ensemble High Flyers tour of Scotland. Between 7-12 February he leaves his home town in Essex, where he attends Westcliff High School, and plays Mozart’s Piano Concerto No 13 and Britten’s Young Apollo in concerts in lnverness, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Dundee and Glasgow. Keyboard finalist in last year’s BBC Young Musician of the Year competition - the first time he had played with a professional orchestra — Benjamin is the youngest of five brothers who were all taught
piano by their mum.
‘The others gave it up when I started,’ says Ben. And given how much time he devotes to the instrument, this is just as well. ‘I probably practice for about 30 hours a week, five hours on week days and more at weekends.’ His favourite composer is Chopin, but Ben is also the pianist in the school jazz band and still finds time to watch The Simpsons. As for the ultimate ambition, Ben says: ‘l’d like to be an international pianist touring the world.’ For now, the touring starts in Scotland and this disarmingly unfazed, not quite teenager is very excited about being here.
