James Gilchrist and Nathan’s recent recital at the English Music Festival 2026 received a very warm review from James Banyard at the PRSD. The wide-ranging programme of English song included work by Carwithen, Holst, Warlock, Busch, and Pitfield (whose songs James and Nathan recently recorded), as well as more recent songs by Gordon Crosse and Jeremy Thurlow. Nathan also performed Warlock’s beautiful and much neglected Folksong Preludes for solo piano.

Piano Circus Brunel Composition Project
Throughout the spring semester Piano Circus have been working closely with composition students at Brunel University on developing new works for multiple keyboards. The project culminated in Piano Circus premiering four new works in a joyful and inspiring showcase concert in the university’s summer festival, bringing to conclusion another successful year as the university’s artists-in-residence. They will be back at Brunel after the summer break for further composition and performance projects.
