Skye Festival: A Celebration of Scottish Piano Music

A piano concert of Scottish composers and music, with a lot of folk music and a particular emphasis on the work of the late, great Ronald Stevenson.
Born in Scotland in 1986, Christopher Guild studied piano and violin locally before entering St Mary’s Music School, Edinburgh aged 13. He took top honours in the Moray Piano Competition 2001 – he remains the youngest winner to this day.
Christopher entered the Royal College of Music in 2005 as a Foundation Scholar and studied for six years with Andrew Ball, gaining a First Class BMus (Hons), and the MMus and Artist Diploma with Distinction. He went on to be the Richard Carne Junior Fellowship in Performance at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance 2012-13. Christopher now combines performing and recording with extensive teaching commitments, at Junior Trinity in London and the Godolphin School in Salisbury.
“A naturally creative and innovatory musician … Such pianists are rare … He is a wonderful advocate for new music.” – Royal College of Music, London
Tonight’s concert is made possible by an anonymous sponsor for the hire of the piano.
