Piers Lane
London-based Australian pianist Piers Lane is one of the most inquisitive and engaging live performers of his generation. In great demand as soloist and as a collaborative artist, recent highlights include a performance of Busoni's mighty piano concerto at Carnegie Hall, premieres of Carl Vine's second Piano Concerto, written for Piers Lane, with the Sydney Symphony and the London Philharmonic, and a sold-out performance of Chopin's complete Nocturnes at Wigmore Hall.
Piers Lane has been the Artistic Director of the Australian Festival of Chamber Music since 2007. He is also Artistic Director of the annual Myura Hess Day at the National Gallery in London.
