About Sam Haywood
Sam Haywood has performed in many of the world’s major concert halls, including Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, the Tonhalle in Zürich. Private audiences have included Princess Diana, David Attenborough and the then Vice-Presidents Biden and Xi. The New York Times hailed his ‘Passionate flair and sparkling clarity’ and the Washington Post his ‘dazzling, evocative playing’. Sam embraces a wide spectrum of the piano repertoire and is equally at home as soloist and chamber musician. His highly acclaimed duo with violinist Joshua Bell toured all over the world for over a decade and he has also performed on many occasions with cellist Steven Isserlis.
He has released two solo albums of music for Hyperion Records, and other recordings for Sony, Deux- Elles and Toccata Classics. Passionate about early instruments, he made a Chopin disc on the composer’s own Pleyel piano to celebrate his bicentenary in 2010.He has composed several instrumental miniatures, including ‘The Other Side’, first performed at the Konzerthaus in Vienna. His Song of the Penguins for bassoon and piano is published by Emerson Editions.Sam is also the Artistic Director and co-founder (with his wife Sophia) of the Solent Music Festival, set in the beautiful sailing town of Lymington. Guest artists over the past twelve years have included Steven Isserlis, the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Michael Portillo (his ‘Piano Desert Island Discs’), The King’s Singers and Tenebrae. The festival now has its own orchestra, comprising mainly members of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and the City of London Sinfonia.
