Performing since the age of seven, Miriam Kramer, is praised by Strad Magazine as a “violinist of superior natural talent, an exceptionally sensitive interpreter, a phrase maker of uncommon
expressivity”; and by the NY Times as a “soulful, virtuosic performer”. Her concerts have taken her
around the world to venues including Carnegie Hall, Vienna Konzerthaus and Wigmore Hall. Critical acclaim has followed for her CDs, including Editor’s Choice for her Bloch disc and from Gramophone Magazine: “Kramer’s playing could hardly be more heartfelt. Scanning the catalogue for rivals, her musicianship is irresistible.” This disc is included in the guide, “1001 Classical Recordings You Must Hear Before You Die.”.Miriam is also listed in David Milson’s book,A-Z of String Players, 300 Great String Players.
Few pianists have enjoyed such a colourful and cosmopolitan career as Nicholas Durcan.He studied the piano with Hamish Milne and Angus Morrison and organ with Alan Harverson at the Royal Academy of Music where he won many prizes including the highest performing award-the Recital Diploma. From 1980-82, he was organist at Westminster Cathedral and in 1983 made his concerto debut at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. He has since performed concertos at the Royal Festival Hall, St.John’s Smith Square and given recitals at the Purcell rooms, broadcast on Classic fm, BBC Radio 2,3 and 4 and appeared on several TV programmes.
Durcan performs regularly in the USA and has given solo and chamber music recitals worldwide. Nicholas is also an acclaimed jazz pianist and appears regularly with London's top jazz musicians. He is also a composer and arranger and has written the music for the BBC series "A Painters World" and the channel 4 film"The Daughters of De Beauvoir." He has released a number of recordings including the piano works of British composer Billy Mayerl and a cd for Naxos of the violin and piano works of Szymanowski with violinist Miriam Kramer,described by American Record Guide as 'flawless and beautiful'.
