Linlithgow Arts Guild is delighted and privileged to welcome Ryan back to the town. He played in our “Music for Summer Days” series last year, prior to his memorable appearance, widely broadcast, at the Scottish Honours Service in St. Giles in the presence of King Charles.
Born in Glasgow, Ryan Corbett is a classical accordionist who has been described as “one of Scotland’s most exciting young musicians” (The Scotsman). He recently graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, where he has now commenced his post-graduate studies.
His repertoire ranges from Baroque keyboard works, to original contemporary compositions for accordion.
Ryan was awarded the Keyboard Prize, first prize and Gold Medal at the Royal Over-Seas League Annual Music Competition, first prize at the Bromsgrove International Musicians’ competition and prizes at international accordion competitions in Italy, Germany, and China. Ryan is a Tillet Debut scheme artist, Munster Trust Recital Scheme artist and the first accordionist to be part of the prestigious BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist scheme since its launch in 1999.
Ryan has given solo concerts across Europe at venues including the Berlin Philharmonie and he looks forward to upcoming concerts at Wigmore Hall, Kings Place, Bath Festival, St Magnus Festival, Buxton Festival, Cambridge Summer Music Festival, Ryedale Festival, Lake District Summer Music Festival, Edinburgh Festival and Lammermuir Festival.
Ryan plays a Bayan Spectrum classical piano accordion made by Bugari Armando in Castelfidardo, Italy.
