HAMISH MILNE piano recital

Event information

One of Britain’s leading pianists, Hamish Milne was born of Scottish parents, grew up in Salisbury, and studied with Harold Craxton at the Royal Academy of Music and then in Italy with Guido Agosti (who had studied with Busoni). At the Accademia Chigiana in Siena he was lucky enough to hear the classes of Casals, Cortot and Segovia at the end of their lives and – in particular – to hear those of Sergiu Celibidache, which made a deep impression on him that lasts to this day. Hamish Milne has appeared with most of the major British orchestras, has given over 200 broadcasts for the BBC and has toured on four continents. He is also well known as a chamber musician. He is interested in film, books, people and cricket, “in a completely eclectic and disorganised way”.
