Gavin Doyle is a 21 year-old pianist from Liverpool, England and now based in Leeds. He started playing piano at the age of 14 and is now in his final year on a BA (Hons) Music degree course at Leeds College of Music, majoring in Classical performance. He has studied privately in Liverpool with Irina booth before moving to Leeds to study solo performance with Jakob Fichert and accompanying with Nico de Villiers, both well established performers. Gavin has been exploring the repertoire of both solo and chamber works and has been involved in many performance in and outside LCoM. After winning a competition in LCoM, Gavin is due to perform at the International Chopin Festival in Warsaw in February 2014. As of 2012, Gavin had been a part of an ensemble (piano and two soprano singers), known as, insieme which is currently building a repertoire for auditions and competitions and has recorded a selection of songs as part of a recording project set up by LCoM. Gavin has been teaching piano privately since 2010, and is still taking on students while studying at Leeds College of Music.

Alongside this he is developing repertoire for entering competitions in the near future.

Joshua Kelly Biography

Joshua Kelly currently studies at Leeds College of Music under the direction of Nico de Villiers. Throughout his formative years, Joshua studied towards his ABRSM Grade 8 distinction under the direction of Raymond Kelly whilst completing his GCSE and A-Level qualifications at high school and sixth form college. Having enrolled at the conservatoire, Joshua has developed his knowledge and interpretation of a wide range of repertoire in both solo and chamber settings. He has worked in professional piano duets, trio's and quintets allowing a firm grasp of ensemble development in other areas of compositional technique. Joshua is currently working towards a series of recitals with his current trio, engaging with Mozart, Beethoven, Rachmaninov and Schoenberg. Joshua's conservatoire exposure has allowed for the numerous masterclasses with world renowned pianist, Wolfgang Manz and his entry to the International Piano Festival in Warsaw 2014. Joshua has engaged in numerous recitals, lunchtime concerts and festivals since his admission to the conservatoire in 2011. Joshua's inspirational figure, Vladimir Horowitz, has been an important landmark during his education regarding pianistic and intrinsic musical features relating to tone colour. His admiration of the piano giant and his unique conception of the piano repertoire has guided the individualistic style Joshua employs. Joshua hopes to further his career on the concert platform and continue studying through his masters degree in the fall.
