Call 0800 411 8881 for tickets.
Nicholas McCarthy was born in 1989 without his right hand and only began to play the piano at the age of 14.
Having once been told that he would never succeed as a concert pianist, Nicholas would not be discouraged and went on to study at the prestigious Royal College of Music in London. His graduation in July 2012 drew press headlines around the world, being the only one-handed pianist to graduate from the Royal College of Music in its 130 year history.
In September 2015 Nicholas was thrilled to announce his exclusive record deal with Warner Music, his album entitled Solo featured 17 stunning pieces of left hand repertoire spanning three centuries and has been released around the world to great acclaim, securing a top 10 classical chart position and 5 star reviews.
Nicholas is a champion of the dynamic and brave world of left hand alone repertoire, a repertoire that first came into being in the early 19th Century and developed rapidly following the First World War as a result of the many injuries suffered on the Battlefield. Paul Wittgenstein was responsible for its 20th Century developments with his commissions with Ravel, Prokofiev and Benjamin Britten amongst others.
In 2015 Nicholas attained official Yamaha Artist status and is an Ambassador for the stunning Yamaha CFX Concert Grand, Nicholas's piano of choice.
Nicholas has performed extensively throughout the UK and internationally in notable concert venues such as The Royal Albert Hall, The Kennedy Centre, Washington D.C.
His talent has been showcased widely across the press and media with many television and radio broadcasts.
One of Nicholas's proudest moments was performing with the British Paraorchestra at the Closing Ceremony of the 2012 Paralympic games where they played alongside Coldplay and gave a rendition of the Paralympic anthem in front of an audience of 86,000 people and half a billion worldwide viewers.
