Today a celebrated recitalist, British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor at the age of ten became the youngest-ever winner of four local and national competitions in the UK. He gave his first full recital at the age of eleven in the dual roles of pianist and cellist. That same year he also performed Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 21 (K. 467), and the following year the Ravel Concerto in G, with which he won a BBC Young Musician award. Since then, Grosvenor has developed a high-profile international career, performing with many of the world’s top-tier orchestras including those of London, Cleveland, Leipzig, Zurich, Paris, New York, Philadelphia, and Boston. In the summer of 2011, at the age of nineteen, Grosvenor made his debut at the BBC Proms as the youngest-ever soloist on opening night. He has since played at the Proms on numerous occasions. His discography includes a 2020 recording of the Chopin concertos, which won awards from both Gramophone magazine and the French journal Diapason, the latter publication’s critic proclaiming that it was “a version to rank among the best, and confirmation of an extraordinary artist.” In 2011 Grosvenor signed a contract with Decca, the youngest artist ever and the first British pianist in sixty years to sign with this label. To date he has released five recordings on Decca, the most recent being a Schumann/Brahms program. Grosvenor is an Ambassador of Music Masters, a charity dedicated to making music education accessible to all children regardless of their background, championing diversity and inclusion. 1st LMMC solo recital.
