Nicholas McCarthy | piano
“Left -hand Virtuoso of our time”, Pianist Magazine
“His amazing display of prowess, stamina and determined energy was nothing but dazzling”, The Times
Nicholas McCarthy, the world’s only one-handed concert pianist, began his remarkable journey at age 14. He started with adapted two-handed repertoire before discovering the often overlooked works of left-hand-alone piano, over 3,000 compositions exist for solo left hand. Nicholas has since become a passionate advocate for this repertoire, collaborating with ABRSM to create the first-ever one-handed piano syllabus.
Join Nicholas for a captivating and atmospheric chamber music concert spanning the precision of Bach to the rich textures of Wagner, offering something to indulge every taste.
Virtuosic. Unforgettable. Inspiring.
