A musical experience inspired by Maurice Ravel's "Piano Concerto for the Left Hand", Concerto is touring the UK and Europe to mark the centenary of the events that inspired it.
Pianist Paul Wittgenstein commissioned Ravel to write him a concerto after he lost his right arm during the First World War. The assassin that triggered that conflict, Gavrilo Princip, was kept in shackles, his withered arm tied up with piano wire.
