Tom Poster’s skills and passions extend well beyond the conventional role of the concert pianist. He has been described as “a marvel, [who] can play anything in any style” (The Herald), “mercurially brilliant” (The Strad), and as having “a beautiful tone that you can sink into like a pile of cushions” (BBC Music).
Tom won the keyboard section of the BBC Young Musician of the Year Competition in 2000. He has made multiple appearances at the BBC Proms, performed with many renowned orchestras and conductors, including over forty concertos from Mozart to Ligeti, and premiered solo, chamber and concertante works by many leading composers.
