Stephen Plaistow is a pianist and writer on music and performance. For thirty years he was also a BBC music producer, working with most of the admired artists, ensembles and composers of the day. In the last ten years his activities as a programme maker have continued in the independent sector, and he is a regular broadcaster.
In 1994 he received the Leslie Boosey Award from the Performing Right Society and the Royal Philharmonic Society for his contribution to contemporary music.
As a pianist he is a pupil of James Gibb, with whom he has a four-hand partnership, and recently he has had informal encounters with Claude Frank and Richard Goode in the USA.
Stephen lives in London and East Anglia and is an honorary research fellow at Dartington College of Arts.
