DESCRIPTION:
Derek was sent a recording of a composition by Paul Trehin, which consisted only of Bossa Nova style chords, and was asked to improvise on those chords after hearing them a couple of times. This is what he came up with!

Derek Paravicini is a world-renowned pianist with a genius for improvisation. A musical savant and blind from birth, Derek's talent developed alongside severe autism and learning difficulties. Combining the gift of perfect pitch with his incredible musical memory and his amazing talent for musical interpretation, Derek can play almost any piece by ear in any key or style. He's well known for his creative and unique improvisations and with musical influences ranging from Bach and Chopin to George Shearing and Keith Jarrett, from Bill Evans and Fats Waller to Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum, you're guaranteed to never hear him play the same piece in the same way twice.

Derek's talent, love of music, and - above all - the ability to communicate through sound means he will continue to thrill audiences for years to come in the UK and abroad.
