The Portuguese pianist will resume her concert career next week, having recovered from a bad fall and hospitalisation in Riga two months ago.
Physiotherapy helped, she says.
She returns to the stage in France on November 13.
So good to have her back.

Word on the grapevine was that over lockdown she was giving online piano lessons at an extortionate €300 per hour!!
You are not aware I assume that Leon Fleischer sitting in Baltimore was charging a double amount.
Oh how awful.
“I care about the next generation of musicians and want to help nurture them, and I care about the music” and all that codswallop.
If you really care about the younger generation and you really care about the music then you wouldn’t charge that amount. Simples.
I hope they lose a lot of it through paying tax – I’m sure they’re declaring this income truthfully and in full (ahem).
This is a comment is sadly representative of the modern Left in general, though many people of all political stripes wouldn’t say a thing like this if their lives depended on it.
300$ per hour , but it’s a steal!
Yes, quite a literally a steal indeed.
Quite right Ya what. Pires is a fine pianist- frequently excellent- but nobody should be charging that amount for teaching. Its pure greed plain & simple. If Pires wants to earn big bucks- she should return to performing & find the right agent. Ok teachers must learn a living also but there’s a difference between that and a ‘steal’ as you say.
This is such good news.
Thank you.
Fantastic news! Really hope this great artist will make it to her 3 x London concerto appearances (!!) between May & July next year with Blomstedt/Philharmonia & JEG/LSO
Good for her, but I had been under the impression she had retired at least once in the past five years.
