Dimitris Sgouros/Eileen AgarTonight Omnibus features two artists separated by more than 60 years. The first is the 14-year-old Greek pianist, Dimitris Sgouros. Already a renowned performer on the international stage, this child prodigy has been compared to Mozart. What is it like to have so much talent so young and what pressures must this boy prodigy endure? The second artist is the painter Eileen Agar. Once described as the 'darling of the Surrealists' she talks tonight about her life and work, recalling the holiday with Picasso, and friendships with Ezra Pound and Evelyn Waugh.
