Duncan Honeybourne

Pianist Duncan Honeybourne has won acclaim for performances and recordings of English music from the early 20th century to the present. He is also noted as an educator and as a writer about music. Honeybourne was born in Weymouth, in England's Dorset county, on October 27, 1977. He showed major talent as a youth and was admitted to the Junior Department of the Royal Academy of Music. He gave a recital in London at 15 and toured as a teen through Britain, both as a concerto soloist and solo recitalist. He was admitted to the main Royal Academy of Music program but chose to enroll instead at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, where Rosemarie Wright and Philip Martin were among his teachers. In 1998, he made recital debuts at Symphony Hall in Birmingham and the National Concert Hall in Dublin, Ireland. He graduated in 2000 with first class honors and various other prizes. Honeybourne later took lessons from John York, Fanny Waterman, and Mikhail Kazakevich. Honeybourne has appeared as a recitalist and concerto soloist around the U.K. and Ireland, and across continental Europe. He is a frequent guest on radio networks, including the BBC 3 (where he played the complete solo piano music of Ruth Gipps across a week's worth of broadcasts), France Musique, and ABC Classic FM in Australia. Honeybourne often plays contemporary music, and among the 70 works written especially for him are John Joubert's Piano Sonata No. 3, John Casken's Tempus Plangendi, and Cecilia McDowall's Notes from Abroad. As a teacher, he has been active at his alma mater (where he served as Staff Pianist), the University of Southampton, the University of Chichester, and the Sherborne School for Girls. Honeybourne's writings have been published by the likes of Classical Music magazine and The Times of London, and he has lectured widely about his experiences as a performer on the autism spectrum. He has recorded more than a dozen albums for the EM Records, Prima Facie, and Grand Piano labels, and in 2021, he was heard on the Somm recording Dedication: The Clarinet Chamber Music of Ruth Gipps.
