“The Piano,” Channel 4’s talent search, returns this Sunday with a stop at Newcastle Station. Host Claudia Winkleman, along with judges Mika and Jon Batiste (and Mika’s adorable dog, Sharkey), continue their quest to uncover hidden pianistic talent in unexpected places.
Episode 4 features a diverse group of performers, each with a unique story to tell. From a lovestruck tram driver looking to impress to a prodigiously talented teenager, the range of skill and experience on display is vast. But it’s an 87-year-old widow whose heartbreaking performance is said to move everyone to tears.
Amidst the bustle of a busy train station, the magic of music takes centre stage. With raw talent on full display, the judges must decide who deserves a place in the final concert at Gateshead’s Glasshouse. Tune into Channel 4 at 9:00 PM GMT on Sunday, 4 May, for another dose of musical inspiration.
