Brothers
Jonathan and Tom perform in instrumental combinations which cover the
entire keyboard spectrum including Piano Duet, Piano & Organ and Harmonium
& Piano. They have performed at all the major UK concert halls, as
well as at venues throughout Europe, South America and the Far East. Their
entertaining programmes, presentation and dynamic performing style have
earned them great acclaim and many return visits.
Born in Manchester, Jonathan and
Tom both studied at Chethams School of Music and at the Royal Northern
College of Music (RNCM). Tom read Music on the joint course at Manchester
University, gained the Thomas Beecham Medal for Excellence in his degree
and subsequently achieved a distinction in his Masters degree. He made
his concerto debut with the Hallé Orchestra, aged 17, with Prokofievs
Piano Concerto No.1 at The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester. Tom currently
tutors at the RNCM and The University of Manchester where he has recently
completed his PhD. Jonathan continued his studies in the USA and Holland
and was awarded the W.T. Best Gold Medal by the Worshipful Company of
Musicians and subsequently received the Freedom of the City of London.
He is on the keyboard faculty of the RNCM and organist-in-residence at
Salford University. In addition to many radio and TV broadcasts, Jonathan
recorded the piano music for the 2008 MIRAMAX film Brideshead Revisited.
This season he will be performing concertos on piano and organ with the
BBC Philharmonic, RPO, CBSO, RLPO and Hallé Orchestras. His
performances of Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue at Londons Royal
Albert Hall were described as scintillating by the Sunday
Times.
Scott Brothers Duo have recorded
several CDs on their own label to great critical acclaim. The discs have
featured regularly on BBC radio 2 and 3, and 'Duos for Piano & Organ'
achieved editor's choice in Organists Review, and was
described by The Sydney Organ Journal as Nothing short of astounding."
International Piano Magazine said of 'Duets for Piano' I doubt whether
Debussys Petite Suite or Ravels Ma Mère lOye
have ever sounded more beguiling on disc. The Organ hailed the duos
latest release 'Duos for Harmonium & Piano' as "the best CD that
I've heard in a long while".
