About the Artist

Paul Lewis is internationally recognized as one of the leading pianists of his generation. His concert performances and Harmonia Mundi recordings of the complete Beethoven Sonatas, Concertos, and the Diabelli Variations have earned him unanimous acclaim from all over the world, culminating in 2010 with the honour of becoming the first pianist in the history of the BBC Proms to perform all five Beethoven Concertos in a single Proms season.

The 2012–13 season marks the completion of a two-year project which has seen Paul Lewis perform all of Schubert’s mature piano works from the Wandererfantasie onwards. This series is being presented in London, New York, Chicago, Tokyo,

Melbourne, Rotterdam, Bologna, Florence, the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg, and at other major venues worldwide. Future recording plans for Harmonia Mundi include Mozart concertos with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and Daniel Harding, and solo works by Schumann and Mussorgsky.

Paul Lewis studied with Ryszard Bakst at Chethams School of Music and Joan Havill at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, before going on to study privately with Alfred Brendel. Along with his wife, the Norwegian cellist Bjørg Lewis, he is artistic director of Midsummer Music, an annual chamber music festival held in Buckinghamshire, U.K.

Paul Lewis is managed exclusively by Ingpen & Williams International Artists’ Management.
