Christopher Gould read music at Clare College, Cambridge before winning a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, where he studied accompaniment with John Streets and Malcolm Martineau, supported by The Countess of Munster Musical Trust. In 1996 he was the first young pianist to receive an award from The Geoffrey Parsons Trust; this was followed by the Gerald Moore Award (1998) and the first prize in the Wigmore International Song Competition (2001). Christopher is staff pianist on several international summer schools and divides his time between vocal coaching and a busy recital career. In London he has performed with such artists as Sarah Walker, Ann Murray, Lorraine Hunt Lieberson and Geraldine McGreevy at the Wigmore Hall, St Johns Smith Square, the Purcell Room and on BBC Radio 3. Forthcoming projects for 2003 include a tour of Winterreise with Andrew Foster as a multimedia presentation for Opera North.
Philip and Christopher started giving recitals together in July 2003, and now perform approximately twice a year in concerts to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society. To date - as at the end of March 2007 - these concerts had raised over £3,500.
Past concerts include those at Manormead, Hindhead (January 2004 and January 2005), Leighton House, Kensington (March 2004), Burgh House, Hampstead (July 2005), and their ongoing series at the Old Synagogue, Canterbury.
