Australian pianist Cameron Roberts, currently resident in London, performs throughout the UK, Europe and Australia. Recent performances have taken him to London's Purcell Room, Royal Albert Hall, Duke's Hall, St.Martin-in-the-Fields, Madrid's Auditorio Nacional, Teatro Real, Teatro Monumental and to festivals in Geneva, Rome, Valencia, Amsterdam and Colombia. As chamber player, he collaborates with Jacques Zoon (flute), Rebecca Chan (violin), Beate Altenburg (cello) and Plural Ensemble. He frequently plays with the world's finest flautists, including János Bálint, Mario Caroli, Francisco López and, recently, with Emmanuel Pahud and András Adorján at La Côte Festival, Geneva.
For many years Roberts was an associate artist and teacher of chamber music at the Escuela de Música Superior Reina Sofía, Madrid. He is also a specialist teacher of elite-performance piano technique, fine-motor skills learning and injury prevention, a topic in which he holds a PhD (University of New England) and will, next year, be publishing a book, 'The clear-thinking pianist'. Roberts’ early years of study were with Mack Jost (piano) and Chris Martin (violin). He later graduated in Medicine and Music |
at The University of Melbourne before furthering his piano studies at the Australian National Academy (Ronald Farren-Price and Michael Harvey), the Tanglewood Institute and privately at the Moscow Conservatory. He is the recipient of many prizes including, most recently, the Michael Kieran Harvey Piano Scholarship and several Ian Potter Trust grants.
His debut CD of Bach’s Goldberg Variations and Original Transcriptions (2006) was praised as ‘thought-provoking’ and his latter, Original Piano Transcriptions (2009), 'his taste is impeccable… it's virtuosic playing that is frankly thrilling.' More recent recording include music of Granados, with castanet virtuoso Deanna Blacher (Spanish Fire, 2011), rare cello transcriptions with cellist Beate Altenberg (2011, Deutschlandradio Kultur) and The 3 Brahms Violin (Flute) Sonatas with Jacques Zoon (Vox Animae, 2016). He currently prepares a solo piano disc, Bach – an intimate life, and is also trying to raise money for a series of recordings ‘Natures’ Calling’ where every disc sold will plant a tree for the world. |
