Amiri Harewood - Biography
https://www.amiriharewood.com/about
Currently continuing his studies at the Royal College of Music under the tutelage of Danny Driver as a postgraduate, Amiri previously studied at Trinity Music Academy under Richard Evans.
Amiri regularly performs across the UK and abroad. Previous engagements include solo recitals at prestigious venues including Steinway Hall, St Martin-in-the-Fields, Institut Francais, Bishopsgate’s Institute, the Royal Albert Hall (as part of the Steinway Young Artist series), and an appearance performing on BBC Radio London.
His appearances abroad include recitals at the Conservatorio in Venice, and the Mozart Music Festival in Forli, Italy. Amiri has also had the privilege of working with renowned musicians including Inon Barnatan, Vanessa Latarche and Trio Shaham-Erez-Wallfisch.
Amiri’s Royal Festival Hall concerto debut with Chineke! Orchestra was universally acclaimed, described as a “Royal Festival Hall debut of considerable panache” (Geoff Brown, The Times) as he brought “confidence and a touch of grandiloquence to Grieg’s Piano Concerto.” (Richard Fairman, The Financial Times).
He was also selected as one of the first Tabor Piano Ambassadors for the prestigious Leeds International Piano Competition, representing the Royal College of Music. He continues to work with the competition to deliver education and outreach initiatives.
Amiri uses his versatile music experiences to inspire his playing. Until age 14 he sang as a treble with the renowned Trinity Boys Choir, performing in opera productions at Glyndebourne, Royal Opera House, Garsington, and English National Opera. He also performed at the Aldeburgh Festival and Amina Mundi Festival in Pisa alongside the Monteverdi Choir and Sir John Eliot Gardiner, as well as touring Japan in 2015.
