Robert Markham won national and international recognition as Winner of the Piano Class of BBC Young Musician of the Year Competition in the UK, as First Prize Winner of the Vincenzo Bellini Piano Competition in Italy, Frinna Awerbuch Competition and Thomas Richner Foundation Competition in New York, and as Finalist in the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. Robert performs frequently as soloist and chamber musician, and has appeared with orchestras including the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Philharmonic, the London Mozart Players and the Israel Chamber Orchestra. After studying with Heather Slade-Lipkin at Chetham's School of Music in Manchester, Robert studied with Professor Oxana Yablonskaya at the Juilliard School in New York, graduating with a Doctor of Musical Arts degree. He currently serves on the staff of Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. He has released a number of CDs including a disc of Schubert duets with John Humphreys and, most recently, two highly acclaimed CDs of keyboard works by Franz Xaver Mozart on Naxos' Grand Piano label
John Humphreys was born in Liverpool and studied with Henryk Mierowski and later with Harold Rubens at the Royal Academy of Music. In 1967 he was awarded one of four scholarships by the Austrian Government to study in Vienna and on his return to this country made his Wigmore Hall debut in 1972 with Busoni's rarely heard ‘Fantasia Contrappuntistica'. Since then he has appeared throughout the country as soloist, accompanist and chamber musician. In 1975 he performed the cycle of Mozart piano sonatas in London and elsewhere and has given many performances of Bach's ‘Goldberg Variations'. John was Assistant Head of Keyboard Studies at Birmingham Conservatoire until 2009. He is also Chairman and Artistic Advisor to the Dudley International Piano Competition. In 1998 he was awarded the ARAM for ‘his distinguished contribution to music‘. John has a long piano duo association with Allan Schiller and has recorded Schubert for the Naxos label with both Allan and Robert Markham.
