Hamish Dustagheer to give a piano recital at Salesian College in aid of the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice
On Friday 23 September, the outstanding young pianist Hamish Dustagheer will be giving a piano recital at Salesian College in aid of the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice. Hamish raised nearly £2000 at a similar event in February 2010, whilst still a pupil at the College.
Hamish was born in Surrey in 1992. He was a student in Trinity College of Music’s Junior Department from the age of seven where he studied horn and composition in addition to the piano. At the age of 15 Hamish gained the Performance Diploma of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music on the piano, and, a year later, his Associateship of Trinity College, London (a diploma he also holds on the horn). Before commencing undergraduate studies as a pianist Hamish also obtained the Licentiate diploma of the Royal Schools of Music.
In 2010 Hamish was a winner of the Jacques Samuel Piano Competition, playing in the prize winners’ recital concert at London’s Wigmore Hall. In the same year, he played Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Concerto at the Cadogan Hall in London with the Junior Trinity Symphony Orchestra. Hamish currently studies at the Royal College of Music with the well-known concert pianist, Gordon Fergus-Thompson. Hamish’s latest commissioned composition, a work for wind orchestra, will receive its premier in the summer in Germany at the European Youth Music Week.
The evening will commence at 7.30pm. Admision free, retiring collection.
