“Ayse made her concerto debut when she was just nine years old.

"Considered a child prodigy, she is now recognised internationally for her ability to unite the classical genre with rock music, creating original arrangements and performing sold-out solo shows worldwide.

“This will be the first-time that a classical artist has played a full-sized grand piano inside the glass viewing pod so passengers are in for a treat.

“We are especially honoured to have LA-based AyseDeniz performing. She was recently named one of the three rising stars in BBC Music Magazine’s ‘to watch out for’ list, as well as making it on the ‘20 under 40 Young Shapers of the Future’ list by The Encyclopædia Britannica sitting alongside iconic names such as Adele and Haim. Ayse is known for surprising her audiences by often mixing rock tunes by bands such as Pink Floyd and Nirvana with classical music.

"Ayse’s album Beethoven Senses is available on all British Airways flights so this a perfect collaboration during what will be a stunning sunset flight.”

The performance will be live inside the pod on Saturday, August 20 across the 7.30pm and 8pm flights. Sunset is scheduled for 8.11pm.
