| RUSSELL HEPPLEWHITE is both a composer and pianist. He studied at Chetham's School of Music and then as a scholar at the Royal College of Music. As a pianist he has performed at numerous venues including the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, and the South Bank Centre in London. Most recent performances have included accompanying Willard White in the Salisbury International Festival. As a composer he is becoming widely known for his operatic and choral music. He has had several works published by Banks Music Publications as part of their Genesis Choral Library Series, and has received widespread critical acclaim for concerts and recordings alike. His ground-breaking operas commissioned by English Touring Opera for young audiences have been widely performed in the UK and overseas. Laika the Spacedog won two major awards at the Armel International Opera Festival in Hungary, and has now been performed in four countries - most recently in a production in Switzerland. Russell has taught musicianship and composition at the Royal College of Music Junior Department for more than a decade, and is both a moderator, trainer and examiner for ABRSM, for whom he has examined in both the UK and Asia since 2008. Russell was included in the Evening Standard's Progress 1000 list of Londoners to watch in the years to come; the paper describing him as "one of the most exciting talents to emerge in recent years." |
