Nicholas McCarthy - One-Handed Pianist Announces UK Tour
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Born without his right hand, piano star Nicholas McCarthy is at the forefront of British music talent, championing accessibility to music for all by using his U.K tour to promote not only his top ten Classical charting album called �Solo� but also to share his motto that �anything is possible�.

At aged 14, Nicholas was told that he would never achieve his dream of becoming a concert pianist, by the age of 22 he graduated from the Royal College of Music in 2012 making world press headlines as the first one handed pianist to do so in the prestigious colleges 130 year history.

In the same year Nicholas proudly played to a worldwide audience of half a billion at the Paralympics closing ceremony in London alongside super band Coldplay.

�McCarthy is a fine pianist and the piano sings with a generous tone.�
- Gramophone Magazine

In 2015 Nicholas was thrilled to announce his exclusive record deal with Warner Music. His first album, entitled Solo, features 17 stunning pieces of left hand repertoire spanning three centuries and has been released around the world to great acclaim, securing a top 10 classical chart position and 5 star reviews. Scoring �Album of the Week� on Classic FM upon its release it was also selected as one of �Amazon�s Best of 2015.�

Another highlight was becoming a recognized Yamaha Artist. Yamaha is always Nicholas�s piano of choice and in fact his album was recorded using the flagship Yamaha CFX.

�McCarthy was beyond reproach: absolutely brilliant and dazzlingly effective when called for, but in the slower melodic sections and especially in the astounding cadenza his musicianship was of the very highest order.�
- Musical Opinion Magazine

This tour is a celebration of determination and three centuries of music played with the left hand alone, featuring composers as diverse as Liszt, Chopin/Godowsky, Bach, Scriabin, Gershwin, Blumenfeld and so many others including a new commission by Nigel Hess.

Join Nicholas for an evening of spellbinding musicality, vivid virtuosity, and poetic romance and hear the inspiring and uplifting story of one of the world�s truly unique artists.

�McCarthy offers good, solid, forthright interpretations, especially of the works that appear in their original form. An unlikely candidate for piano stardom overcomes a massive obstacle and fulfils his dream despite everything. That can do more than offer pleasant listening; it can be an example and an inspiration�- BBC Music Magazine
