About Me

With a piano career stretching over many decades Heather has benefitted working with some of the UK’s finest pianists and teachers including John Gough, Frank Wibaut, and Ronald Smith.

 

Heather’s ability to capture the power and beauty of the music of Rachmaninoff, the Spanish idiom of Albeniz and Granados, and the French romantics such as Debussy and Poulenc has been celebrated as a solo performer, chamber musician, and accompanist, by audiences in the many concerts Heather has given in the UK, France, and Germany.
