Sam Haywood began playing the piano at the age of six, inspired by evenings listening to crackly LPs of Beethoven sonatas with his grandmother in the Lake District. His early teachers David Bonser and David Hartigan continued to inspire him and by the age of thirteen he had won 2nd prize in the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition (to watch an extract click here). The Royal Philharmonic Society then awarded him their prestigious Julius Isserlis Award, after which he moved to Vienna to study with Paul Badura-Skoda. The Italian Schnabel-pupil Maria Curcio was his next major influence, studying with her at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

Since then Sam has performed all over the world both as soloist and chamber musician, regularly collaborating with Steven Isserlis, members of the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonic Orchestras and the Galliard Ensemble. In 2010 he will be touring Europe (including the Wigmore Hall on 29th April) and the USA with Joshua Bell. He has recorded a number of CDs and has broadcast widely on radio.

Sam is very grateful to George Isserlis both for introducing him to Barnes Music Society and for helping him unearth the wonderful and largely forgotten piano works of his father, the Russian pianist/composer Julius Isserlis. Sam has made a new edition of these works and hopes to record them in the near future. They include a short previously unpublished work entitled “Warum” (Why?) written in memory of Scriabin’s son, who died aged twelve in a boating accident.

 Sam has composed several solo piano and duo works, and also a children’s opera which has had three performances in London. His Song of the Penguins for bassoon and piano, dedicated to Roger and Penny Birnstingl, is published by Emerson Editions. Outside his musical life he is a passionate fell-walker and amateur magician.
