One of Britain’s most creative and distinctive pianists, Julian Jacobson is an alumnus
of the Royal College of Music, Oxford University and the National Youth Jazz Orchestra.
He performs regularly at the major London venues including Queen Elizabeth Hall, Wigmore
Hall and Purcell Room and has toured in more than 40 countries world wide. He has
partnered many leading
instrumentalists including Zara Nelsova, Ivry Gitlis, Nigel Kennedy and Steven Isserlis.
Chairman of the Beethoven Piano Society of Europe, he gave his first “marathon” performance
of all 32 sonatas from memory in a single day in 2003, repeated in 2004 and 2013.
He is currently recording the cycle.
“A disarming technique coupled with an undoubted intellectual mastery made Julian Jacobson’s recital an awe-inspiring experience...” – Daily Telegraph
