Join Us For An Intimate Piano Concert Featuring Award-Winning Artists
Piano Day takes place each year on the 88th day of the year – there are 88 keys on a standard size piano! A vibrant celebration of this wonderful instrument, Piano Day has grown and now features hundreds of concerts and other piano related events taking place across the world. The Newcastle Piano Day concert is taking place in 36 Lime Street.
This very special concert will take place on Thursday 28th March at 7.30pm in Studio 2G of 36 Lime Street. There will be two forty minute sets of original piano music – one from 36 Lime Street studio holder Steve Luck, and the other from the brilliantly talented Latvian composer and pianist Ieva Dubova.
With an extremely limited number of seats available in this exclusive, close up and intimate setting, featuring a beautiful 120 year old Bechstein grand piano, you are kindly invited to secure your tickets promptly for an evening that promises to be nothing short of magical.
Tickets are priced at £15 (plus booking fee)

About the pianists:
Ieva Dubova is an award-winning pianist and composer known for her experimental, new age approach to classical music, performance and collaborative work. Originally from Cesis, now based in Newcastle Upon Tyne, Ieva Dubova is a graduate of Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance under the tutelage of Alexander Ardakov(performance) and Newcastle University MMus (composition) under the supervision of Rob Mackay.
Ieva has performed across Europe, held multiple radio appearances, and collaborated with artists from multiple disciplines. Her recent works have been featured on BBC Introducing and BBC Sounds as well as on Radio Resonance and Exhale FM. Her latest collection of Piano Preludes has also been Premiered in Germany by noted concert pianist Anna Heller as part of Moving Classics TV programme – Composer of the Week.
Steve Luck is an award winning composer from Newcastle Upon Tyne. His solo piano compositions primarily explore the nuances of the modern classical genre, with a focus on creating intimate and emotive piano pieces. There is a quiet and introspective quality to his performances. Sunderland Echo said recently “Steve’s subtle but emotive embrace of the instrument sees him conjure a world of moonlit rainbows, awakenings and new beginnings… modern classical piano miniatures that explore the delicate interplay between melancholy and hope, forming an engaging body of work which is both contemplative and uplifting.” Steve’s music has been streamed on Spotify more than 2.5 million times and is broadcast regularly on TV and radio around the world. At the end of 2023 he released his third album of piano solos called ‘Be Curious’
