Ann Martin-Davis’s love of 20th century and contemporary art crosses all genres and this has led to a career finding new and appealing ways of presenting solo piano and chamber music. Her work has ‘reinvigorated chamber music’ (The Times) and her innovations in this area were recognised by the Royal Philharmonic Society when her Sound Bites (Nigella Lawson recipe songs) programme was nominated alongside Glyndebourne Opera for its prestigious Audience Development Award.
Ann Martin-Davis studied at the Royal College of Music with Phyllis Sellick, where she won the College's premier piano prize, the Chappell Gold Medal. A series of awards led to a South Bank debut and she subsequently won scholarships to study with Arie Vardi in Hanover and Gyorgy Sebok at the Banff School in Canada.
At this time Ann played to the Polish composer Witold Lutosławski and her subsequent disc of his solo piano and chamber works was described, amongst other rave reviews, as ‘beautiful and exquisite’ by BBC Music Magazine. Her recently released disc of works by Ravel has also been critically acclaimed; described by Musicweb as enjoying a ‘sparkling energy.’
In addition to her playing, Ann teaches at the Royal College of Music Junior Department and was recently Visiting Scholar to the the University of Oxford.
She has been described as an ‘inspirational’ coach and presenter and during the last five years she has trained piano teachers throughout South East Asia, Australia and the UK for numerous music professional associations.
Ann is co artistic director of ‘Piano at Le Maillard’, which hosts retreats in the Charente and online workshops for pianists and teachers.
