He also performs widely across Europe, Canada, and Australia. He is the artistic director of Ribble Valley International Piano Week and the Manchester Chamber Concerts Society.
Noting his last visit to Cayman in October 2019, Roscoe told the Compass, “It was a very enjoyable visit. The recital I gave was to a full house, and the audience were warmly appreciative and clearly enjoyed the evening as much as I did!”
Roscoe said, “I’m really looking forward to visiting Cayman next month with my old friend and colleague, the legendary Peter Donohoe.”
Over the years, the highly acclaimed pianists have graced many stages performing together, and most recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of their first collaboration at the Royal Northern College of Music on 16 Sept.

Music lovers will be treated to a kick-off ‘Rising Stars’ concert on 3 Oct., featuring a showcase by young student musicians in Cayman. Peter Donohoe will perform his own recital on 5 Oct. Both events start at 6pm at the George Town Public Library.
An invitation-only screening will be held on 6 Oct., which will feature the 2023 award-winning documentary ‘Pianoforte’ at Camana Bay Cinema.
