About Adrian
British pianist and composer Adrian Lord studied at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, and at Colchester Institute’s School of Music.
During his time at Colchester Adrian studied composition with Alan Bullard and Christopher Ball. His piano studies with Martin Hughes, and Robert Bell, led to him winning the Canon Jack award for Piano Performance.
He has spent much of his life writing short piano pieces, and performing them in regular concerts around the United Kingdom. In 2016 he released his debut album “Journey – Twelve Romances for Piano”, reflecting his inspirational journey as a composer which culminated in the recording at Crear, Western Scotland. His second album “Sky Blue Piano”, released in 2018, is a collection of new uplifting pieces.
During the Coronavirus lockdown of 2020 Adrian gave twice-weekly performances on Facebook Live, so people could watch whilst at home, with Pianist magazine describing it as a “must watch” online piano performance.
He has recently recorded a brand new collection of calming music, "Piano Meditations", which have just been released as a CD and sheet music book.
Adrian finds inspiration from visiting beautiful parts of the world, especially the Scottish Islands, and the English Lake District (where to date he has climbed 121 of the 214 Wainwright fells).
