Clair Hiles Dip. Music Therapy, Dip. TCM, MA Cantab. ALCMAccompanist (Right)
Clair has loved playing the piano since she was 5. She accompanied her first choir at 12 and has relished playing for soloists, ensembles and choral groups ever since. Clair’s passion for history, art and music led her to Cambridge University, where she performed Beethoven’s 1st Piano Concerto and at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama London, where she studied with notable accompanists such as Roger Vignoles and Graham Johnson. To date, the highlight of Clair’s musical career has been her recent studies in Manhattan, NYC, with Seymour Bernstein - this adventure gave her the change to perform some of the masterpieces of the solo piano repertoire, including Beethoven’s last 3 piano sonatas, in USA, Australia and Europe. Currently, Clair lives in Bristol, with her precious tortoiseshell kitten and enjoys teaching and playing regularly with the Pump Room Trio in Bath. Clair is a qualified Music Therapist and Sound Healer and is also deeply committed to her own path of yoga and personal development.
