Lynne Taylor-Gooby, Headmistress of The Royal School said: "It is wonderful to help to bring Howard Shelley, an acknowledged expert at interpreting Mozart, to perform in Grayshott together with the London Mozart Players. The Royal School has a reputation for encouraging musicianship and several of our Old Girls have followed careers in music and the performing arts."

This is the first of Grayshott Concerts? events to feature a world-class pianist. Last November, Grayshott welcomed Young Classical Brits winner, violinist Chloe Hanslip, and in March, they staged the first world performance by a non-professional choir of Karl Jenkins 'Stabat Mater' which was attended and praised by the composer.

Grayshott Concerts? Artistic Director, Vivien Harrison, said: "We're delighted to have The Royal School as sponsors, in addition to Applegarth Farm and Huntington House who are our sponsors throughout 2009. We can only stage events of this calibre through the wonderful support we get from sponsors and audiences alike. Their help will also enable a number of young people from the School to enjoy Mozart at his very best!"
