Incredibly talented classical pianist Nick van Bloss, who also happens to have Tourette Syndrome, will be performing a programme of Bach and Mozart at St. Martin in the Fields in London on Thursday 12 November.

Nick van Bloss returned to the stage in April of this year, after a 15 year break when his TS proved too severe to perform. His come-back performance with the English Chamber Orchestra at Cadogan Hall received glowing praise from the press.

Hilary Finch described the concert as "triumphant" in The Times, writing "Van Bloss's concentration was total, as if great reserves of inner strength were being loaded...Each note had ringing resonance; each phrase an instinctive flexibility - and this made heart-felt song of the wonderfully exploratory slow movement…"

On 12 November, Nick will perform with London Octave. Tickets and further details are available on the St. Martin in the Fields website.
