10th Adam Chamber Music Festival Artists [Archive]

Richard Mapp made his solo debut at the age of 12 with the Christchurch Civic Orchestra playing Mendelssohn's First Piano Concerto. He studied with Ernest Empson and later at the University of Otago with Maurice Till. He pursued his musical studies in the United Kingdom studying with Gordon Green and had inspirational coaching from William Pleeth and the Beaux Arts Trio.

His Wigmore Hall debut was well received and a successful career of solo and recital engagements in Europe, Scandinavia and North America followed. Since his return to New Zealand in 1991, he has performed as a concerto soloist with all of the major orchestras, as an ensemble pianist with the New Zealand Piano Quartet and toured for Chamber Music New Zealand.
