Rice, who played a Brahms piece, was accompanied by British Foreign Secretary David Miliband's wife Louise and three members of the London Symphony Orchestra. Rice, an accomplished pianist, "expressed a wish" to play at the palace, and the queen, who listened to part of the performance, allowed her to use the music room.
