About Christina Lawrie Hailed as a rising star by the magazine International Piano, Scottish pianist Christina Lawrie has performed as soloist in live BBC Radio 3 and Radio Scotland broadcasts, in the Grieg Concerto with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, and in solo recitals for Wigmore Hall, Cheltenham Music Festival, Purcell Room, South Bank Centre, St. George’s, Bristol and Perth Concert Hall. She has performed for music clubs spanning nearly all of the British Isles, from the Orkney Islands to the Channel Islands. As a member of the Sutherland Duo with violinist Harriet Mackenzie, Christina held the EMS Chamber Music Residency 2010-12. The Sutherland Duo has just recorded a debut album of music by Grieg, Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky, thanks to the generosity of Creative Scotland and a private donor. This recording follows on from Christina’s solo CD, which features music by Brahms, Carl Vine and Rachmaninov. The CD was produced by the wonderful John Fraser, Philip Hobbs and Julia Thomas, and funded by Creative Scotland, Keir Smart and Pollok House Arts Society.
