British Pianist Nicola Eimer has performed as a soloist and chamber music across Europe, Asia and America and has played at the major UK venues including the Barbican, Kings Place and Wigmore Hall.

 

A graduate of New York’s Juilliard School, Nicola held a Fulbright Scholarship to study with Joseph Kalichstein. Her previous teachers include Danielle Salamon and Christopher Elton.

 

Nicola’s passion for chamber music has led to a wide range of partnerships, in duos as well as larger ensembles. She has won both the chamber music and solo awards in the Royal Overseas League Music Competition and is in demand as a collaborative pianist and chamber musician. Nicola enjoys duo partnerships with violinists such as Matteo Cimatti, Johan Dalene and Christian Li and is a member of the Ferdinand Piano Trio. 

 

Nicola performs regularly with violinist Fenella Humphreys. Their album “So Many Stars”, released on Stone Records, was described as “hugely rewarding” by The Observer; “an absolutely exquisite album” by BBC Radio 3’s Record Review, and was The Strad’s Recommended Recording of the month. They enjoy collaborations with the author and musicologist Dr Leah Broad in a programme which combine words and music.

 

Teaching, adjudicating and lecturing are an important part of Nicola’s musical life. She has maintained a close connection with the Royal Academy of Music, was made Associate of the Royal Academy in 2004, and taught their Piano Pedagogy course for several years. 

 

Nicola is currently a professor of Piano in Ensemble and Chamber Music at the Royal Academy as well as Head of Keyboard at Highgate School in London.
