Kings Place is a contemporary concert and arts centre in the heart of King’s Cross, close to Regent’s Canal and a short walk from King’s Cross and St Pancras stations. Opened in 2008, it was designed by Dixon Jones Architects as part of a mixed-use development combining cultural spaces, offices, galleries, restaurants and public areas. Its striking glass façade and spacious central atrium give the building a distinctive architectural identity, while its canalside setting creates an inviting atmosphere within this regenerated part of London.

Programme
Overview
Discover Beethoven’s Fifth and Sixth Symphonies reimagined for piano duet in Carl Czerny’s ingenious four-hand transcriptions. Duo Pleyel brings orchestral drama and bucolic charm to life on a single piano in an intimate recital.Step into a world where symphonic grandeur meets salon intimacy as Duo Pleyel performs Beethoven’s Fifth and Pastoral Symphonies in Carl Czerny’s remarkable four-hand arrangements. A devoted pupil of Beethoven from the age of ten, Czerny ingeniously distils the full orchestral score into a single keyboard, preserving the Fifth’s dramatic contrasts and relentless energy alongside the Sixth’s serene landscapes and rustic warmth. First unveiled at Beethoven’s historic marathon concert in Vienna in 1808, these transcriptions capture the music’s original power and detail while offering a fresh, immediate connection between performers and audience. From the crackling tension of the opening motif to the gentle birdcalls and flowing streams of the finale, every nuance of Beethoven’s genius unfolds at the pianists’ fingertips. Experience a programme that celebrates the nineteenth-century tradition of bringing grand symphonies into the home, where virtuosity, colour and architectural clarity converge in an unforgettable musical encounter.
