Christopher Langdown (piano)About
Christopher Langdown has been widely acclaimed as both a soloist and chamber musician. Born in Sutton Coldfield, he graduated with Distinction from the Royal College of Music in London after completing six years of study. In recognition of his musicianship, Christopher was nominated at the RCM to perform the music of Shostakovich to the legendary exponent Tatiana Nikolaeva and was further distinguished in being twice selected by The Wall Trust as a piano scholar of “outstanding talent”.
Christopher has acquired numerous awards and was finalist and prize-winner in the 1997 Brant UK Pianoforte Competition which attracted artists from around the world. He has since given recitals at the major London concert halls, including Wigmore Hall, South Bank Centre, LSO St Luke’s and St John’s Smith Square, and has appeared at music festivals throughout the UK and Europe. As a concerto soloist he has performed popular concertos, such as the Rachmaninov No.2, Gershwin’s 'Rhapsody in Blue' and Addinsell’s 'Warsaw Concerto', as well as more unusual works.
Alongside his concert career, Christopher is Head of Piano at The Kingsley School in Leamington Spa and has previously been a visiting teacher at the Birmingham Conservatoire Junior Department and Royal Academy of Music in London.
“Christopher Langdown’s programme at the Wigmore Hall was certainly a demanding one, but a challenge to which he rose admirably. Throughout the evening, Langdown’s playing was exemplary….with such undoubted musicality and total pianistic technique at his disposal, we looked forward to Langdown’s own work, Deo Omnis Gloria, a striking and original piece of positive and compelling expression which was also extremely well laid out for the instrument. Needless to say, the performance was thoroughly convincing” - Musical Opinion, Sept 2009
