the music |The Piano Boat
The most spectacular feature of The Piano Boat is the wood-clad Concert Saloon and magnificent grand piano. Music is at heart of your experience on board, topped off by fine food and drinks and a stunning perspective of one of England's finest: the inland waterways network.
Relax in an immersive experience of breath-taking classical music and the intrigue of the hidden world of the canals. Enjoy well-loved selections of classical repertoire, and perhaps discover previously unknown gems to become familiar favourites.
Details of each performer are available on individual event pages.
