Put aside any preconceptions you may have about accordion playing! Playing music from Bach to Albeniz and several composers in between, Ryan’s fingers fly over keys in this poignant, passionate and virtuosic programme. This will be a totally uplifting experience!
Ryan began playing accordion aged eleven and was self-taught until he started learning with Djordje Gajic at the age of fourteen. He is taking the musical world by storm having won the Keyboard Prize, first prize and Gold Medal at the Royal Over-Seas League Annual Music Competition, and prizes at international accordion competitions in Italy, Germany, and China. Ryan is a Tillett Debut scheme artist, Munster Trust Recital Scheme artist and the first accordionist to be part of the prestigious BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist scheme
