Accompanist - Michael McHale
Belfast-born pianist Michael McHale was winner of the 2009 Terence Judd/Hallé Award and has established himself as one of the leading Irish pianists of his generation.
He enjoys a busy career as solo recitalist, concerto soloist and chamber musician and has performed throughout the UK and Ireland, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Hungary and USA, including broadcast performances for BBC TV, Radio 3, RTE, WNYC Radio, PBS television and Deutschlandradio Kultur.
Michael graduated from Cambridge University with a double first-class honours degree in Music before completing postgraduate studies with distinction at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He won the 2004 Camerata Ireland Musician of the Year and the Brennan and Field Prizes at the 2006 AXA Dublin International Piano Competition prior to his success at the Terence Judd/Hallé Award finals in February 2009.
Highlights include solo performances at the Tanglewood Festival, Berlin Konzerthaus and Vígadó Hall, Budapest and chamber music collaborations with Patricia Rozario, Barry Douglas and Richard Watkins. This season Michael’s engagements include concerto performances with the Ulster, Hallé, and RTE Concert Orchestras and the London Mozart Players, chamber music concerts in Ireland, UK and Italy, and a solo recital tour culminating in a début evening recital at the Wigmore Hall (June 2010) for which he has commissioned a new work from Irish composer Ian Wilson.
Recent CD releases include a disc for the Louth Contemporary Music Society featuring solo works by John Cage and Arvo Pärt as well as chamber works by Silvestrov, Knaifel and Gorecki (which received unanimous critical acclaim from BBC Music magazine, International Record Review and Gramophone magazine), as well as an album of piano trios with Ensemble Avalon on the RTE lyric fm label, which was chosen as 'selection of the month' in The Strad magazine. Upcoming recordings include a disc of clarinet and piano works with Michael Collins for Chandos.
Michael is grateful to Camerata Ireland / Accenture, EMI Music Sound Foundation, the Musicians Benevolent Fund and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland for supporting his performing career. For further information visit michaelmchale.com
