About Piers
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have been teaching music A level at Collingham Sixth Form College since 2011 as well as teaching music A level, theory, composition, piano privately. I am a composer, pianist and artistic director for Present Tense where I work with pianist Christopher Guild to promote new music for piano and electronics. I have been composing and preparing scores for performances for over 10 years. My pieces have been performed both in the UK and abroad including at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, The Peacock Theatre (Saddler's Wells), and Cadogan Hall. In 2011 my Violin Concerto Kreisler, l'entre deux guerres was toured around England by the Britten Sinfonia and the Norwegian Violinist Henning Kraggerud, and was also broadcast live on BBC Radio 3.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
Yes, through Collingham Sixth Form College.
- Where and with whom did you train?
Royal Northern College of Music with Gary Carpenter. Royal College of Music with Joseph Horovitz (composition) and Kenneth Hesketh (orchestration). Studying music is really an ongoing process so I can't say I've finished studying or learning about music. In 2010 I was a resident composer at La Ville Matte in Teulada (Italy) working with pianist Peter Waters and violinist Valentino Corvino. This year (2014) I was part of the Cheltenham Composers Academy working with composer Peter Weigold and members of Notes Inegales to create new pieces for the Cheltenham Festival.
- Do you belong to any professional organisations?
British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors
