George Herbert
Pianist
George Herbert was born in Manchester in 2001, and his passion for music was kindled in earnest as a chorister at Manchester Cathedral.
Based in London, George works across the UK and Europe as a pianist; he has recently performed at Wigmore Hall, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and Paris’s Salle Cortot. His recording of Richard Strauss’ Sonata for Violin and Piano with Nathan Mierdl for Linn Records will be released next year, and his Signum Classics recording of Rodrigo Ruiz’s ‘Venus and Adonis’ with Grace Davidson won the Spanish prize ‘Melomano de Oro’ in January 2025.
He is a Samling Artist, a former Leeds Song Festival Young Artist and participated in the Wigmore Hall French Song Exchange last year. He is also an Associate Artist with Tenebrae Choir.
He studied German and Music at the University of Cambridge, and is now studying for an MA in Ensemble Piano at the Royal Academy of Music with Professors Michael Dussek and James Baillieu.
George is generously supported by an Academy scholarship and by the Hattori Foundation.
