Alessio Bax in the PT Studios
When he was a boy, Alessio Bax wanted desperately to be an organist. He wasn't tall enough to reach the organ pedals, so had to settle for second-best, the piano. Safe to say it's a compromise that has worked out well for him. He has a busy solo and chamber music career and a couple of well-received CDs. We'll meet Alessio Bax when he joins host Fred Child in the PT studios, today and tomorrow.
