About the artist:

Nathan Williamson is a composer and pianist who "quietly, meticulously, does his own thing… an imaginer of projects steering wide of the obvious…" (Ates Orga). He has composed for and performed with leading artists, ensembles and opera companies in the UK and internationally. As a pianist he is particularly associated with 20th-century and contemporary repertoire, and has recorded extensively for SOMM and Lyrita. He is a member of the new music ensemble Piano Circus.

Nathan is also deeply rooted in music-making in and around his hometown of Southwold on the Suffolk coast, where he founded the Southwold Music Trust to place music at the centre of the local community.
