Gary Matthewman

Recently described as ‘movingly perceptive’ by The Times, Gary Matthewman is establishing himself as one of Britain’s leading young pianists. He developed his strong interest in song and chamber music early on in his studies at the Royal College of Music, and now works almost exclusively within these fields of repertoire. Awards include those for accompaniment at the Maggie Teyte Awards, the Royal Over-Seas League Competition, and the prize for pianists at the first ‘Das Lied - International Song Competition’ in Berlin this year.

Abroad, Gary has performed as a recitalist in France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Canada, USA, Brazil, South Korea and New Zealand. At home, he has appeared at the Aldeburgh, Newbury, Hay-onWye, North Norfolk, Bath and Sheffield (Music in the Round) Festivals, and at London’s Wigmore Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall and Royal Opera House. He has made numerous live broadcasts and recordings for BBC Radio 3.

Gary has enjoyed performing alongside some of today’s most exciting artists. These include Sir Thomas Allen (baritone), Kate Royal (soprano), Simon Keenlyside (baritone), Sumi Jo (soprano), Markus Werba (baritone), Sylvia Schwartz (soprano), Robert Murray (tenor), Elizabeth Watts (soprano), Matthew Rose (bass), Sally Matthews (soprano), Toby Spence (tenor), Geraldine McGreevy (soprano), Ian Bostridge (tenor), Dame Josephine Barstow (soprano), Cora Burggraaf (mezzo-soprano), Stephan Loges (baritone), Simon Rowland-Jones (viola), Nicholas Daniel (oboe), Timothy Orpen (clarinet), and the Sacconi and Sorrell String Quartets.
