Additional Info:

With a huge range of solo, accompanying, recording, chamber music and orchestral experience, I prefer to see myself as a collaborative pianist rather than simply as an accompanist. My aim is always to create an emotional connection between composer, performers and audience, and I welcome all opportunities to work with similarly energetic and passionate soloists/ensembles. Based on the edge of the Cotswolds, I have a purpose-built acoustic performance space which is home to a beautiful Steinway Grand piano.

Following a 20-year spell balancing a career in Formula One aerodynamics, including a record-breaking run as Principal Aerodynamicist with the Mercedes team, the majority of my time is now focused on music-making. I have won first prize in several international piano competitions and have given solo recitals in London, Paris, Milan, Budapest, Berlin, Shanghai, Tangiers and Fort Worth. I have performed a wide range of piano concertos with both amateur and professional orchestras, such as the London Philharmonic, and have also accompanied both vocal and instrumental soloists and ensembles since an early age.
