“Tall and talented, Warren Mailley-Smith is the embodiment of a modern Romantic concert pianist…” Musical Opinion

The award-winning concert pianist Warren Mailley-Smith has made his solo debuts to critical acclaim at Wigmore Hall London and Carnegie Hall, New York.  In May 2011 he will make his much anticipated debut with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in a performance of Beethoven’s Emperor Piano Concerto.

Warren is in increasing demand as a solo concert artist, having been described recently by Classic FM as 'Stunning...', 'Fantastic...'  'Sensational', 'Huge UK talent...', 'Gorgeous...!'  and by BBC Music Magazine as ‘Rising Star – Great Artist of Tomorrow”    He was recently featured as CD of the Week and Video of the Week on Classic FM and Classic FM TV respectively.

He has received over thirty invitations to perform for the British Royal Family at Buckingham Palace, Highgrove House and Sandringham House.

Warren studied at the Royal College of Music where he won numerous postgraduate prizes including a Countess of Munster Award and the French Piano Music Prize.  He then took further private studies with Peter Feuchtwanger and the late Ronald Smith.

Warren’s solo career now sees him performing extensively in prestigious festivals and concert venues across the UK, accepting invitations from further afield to perform in Europe, the US and China.  He performs regularly as concerto soloist with highly regarded orchestras from across the world (his repertoire includes concerti by Rachmaninov, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Mozart and Tchaikovsky) and also with duo partners Rowena Calvert (cello), Chris Grist (cello), Susan Parkes (Soprano) and Matt Jones (violin).

Warren is currently in demand for his teaching expertise both privately and in masterclasses across the UK .

He has recorded five CDs Silhouettes, Chopin Souvenirs,  Beethoven ‘Moonlight Serenade’, Chopin 4 Rondos, Romantic Cello and a Live in concert DVD . 2011 will see the release of a further 4 recordings – CDs of Schumann, Liszt, Chopin and Mozart.

“Rapidly establishing himself as one of the best pianists of his generation Warren Mailley-Smith is that rare exceptional talent who turns out to be utterly charming and down to earth with a gentle, self-depreciating sense of humour. Combined with his formidable technical skill and mature musicality, these attributes have made him a favourite for both audiences and St Martin’s staff alike.”  St Martin in the Field, Staff Pick of the Month, Aug 2010
