British pianist Simon Mulligan is, according to The Times of London ‘the
most abundantly gifted of pianists’, to Steinway & Sons he is ‘the
world’s most versatile pianist’; Pulitzer prizewinning composer
Paul Moravec calls him ‘a pianist with complete mastery of the
instrument’, while Herbie Hancock says ‘You have a phenomenal
touch, man!’ In addition to his extensive discography and vast
repertoire, Mulligan’s solo work gains praise from critics and audiences
alike, and his collaborations include performances and recordings with Yehudi
Menuhin, Joshua Bell, Leonard Slatkin and Sting.

He has performed all over the world, most notably at Carnegie Hall in New York,
the Wigmore Hall and Royal Albert Hall in London, Suntory Hall in Tokyo, as well
as private performances for Her Majesty the Queen and President Barack Obama.
His keen interest in film composition led to a long association with composer
Michael Kamen, culminating in his performance on the soundtrack to
Spielberg’s Band of Brothers. He has led his own jazz quartet since he
was thirteen, which has performed in major international festivals. His eclectic
work has led to profiles in Downbeat, JazzTimes, BBC Music, Classic fM, and
Gramophone magazines, among others.

Simon is a recipient of the prestigious Fellowship of the Royal Academy of
Music, and his teachers include Alexander Kelly, Murray Perahia, Alfred Brendel
and Alexis Weissenberg.
