Following a successful fundraising campaign run by the 2001 Development Office, the University recently purchased a much-needed new Steinway Model D Grand Piano. The first public recital on the new instrument will be given by Martin Jones, who was one of the group which selected the piano at the Steinway showrooms in April this year.

The concert will take place in the Concert Hall of the University of Glasgow on Friday, 12 October 2001 at 7.30pm.

The following will be performed by Martin Jones during the concert:

Variations on a theme by Bach - Liszt

Nocturne, op. 33 - Barber
