Colchester - Nicholas McCarthy Bach & Rachmaninoff Concert
Celebrated pianist Nicholas McCarthy has inspired many around the world with his sheer determination and spirit in achieving a prolific concert career despite being born with only one hand.

Now five years on, this concert tour will focus on his favorite composers Bach and Rachmaninoff representing the best exponents of the Baroque and Romantic period.
