ASHLEY WASS, piano. Described by Gramophone Magazine as 'a thoroughbred who possesses the enviable gift to turn almost anything he plays into pure gold', Ashley is firmly established as one of the leading performers of his generation. Only the second British pianist in 20 years to reach the final of the Leeds Piano Competition, he is also the only British pianist to have won First Prize at the London International Piano Competition. In 2002 he
appeared in a gala concert at Buckingham Palace to mark the Queen's Golden Jubilee which was broadcast live around the world. As well as a solo performer, Ashley is much in demand as a chamber musician and in 2007 toured the USA with violinist Sarah Chang. He has released a number of CDs to great acclaim.
